Greetings -
I appear to have really #@(*)(*%&ed up my K3. While updating the firmware,
I accidentally hit either a key on the computer keyboard or one of the mouse
buttons. The K3 Utility window "grayed out" and the K3 is stuck in MCU
Load, no backlight, TX LED flashing.
Setup: Astron 50A PSU; K3 # 2768 with new KIO3B board; direct USB connection
to Lenovo Thinkpad running WIN7 Home Premium; K3 Util v 1.16.7.25. Computer
and K3 Utility both recognize the COM port; latest FTDI drivers installed.
Yes, I know there is supposed to be a cure for this, but it didn't work. I
tried:
1. Restarting both the computer and the K3 a few times.
2. Remove & reconnect power supply from K3, hold POWER button to force it
into bootloader mode. (which it is already in)
3. Factory reset (power on while holding SHIFT/LO button). Never got the EE
INIT message.
4. Uninstall and re-install K3 Utility and try 1-3 again.
5. Uninstall and re-install front panel assembly; try 1-3 again.
K3 Utility is still trying to connect and the TX LED is still flashing. Any
ideas before I call tech support on Monday? Thanks.

Message-ID: <[email protected]>

I use EaseUS. It's a complete package with options for scheduled full
backup, incremental backups, continuous backup, disk image, etc. Also can
be used to clone disks.
Acronis is a very popular backup package for Windows. I used to use it but
had several mishaps, including not being able to read old backups. Haven't
tried it in a long time.
I have EaseUS setup to do a full backup on each disk in my system on the
first day of the month, and incremental backups on each disk once a day.
The backups are written to a hard drive in a USB dock. I have a set of five
of these disks and rotate to the next drive after the last incremental
backup of the month. Whenever I visit my safe deposit box, I put one of the
disks in the box and retrieve the one that I put in the box last time. That
way, I have an offsite backup in case of disaster. It might be a little
old, but better than nothing.
Further, I have Windows 10 on and SSD and all of my critical data on a
separate SSD, including work files, spreadsheets, Quicken data, all my ham
radio data (e.g., contest logs), and so forth. This data is continuously
copied to the cloud and synced with all my devices so that I have multiple
copies of it, including the versions in the hard drive backup rotation.
There are many cloud services that can be used for this, but I use
Microsoft OneDrive because I get 1 TB of storage free with my subscription
to Office 365. It helps to have very high speed internet with fast upload
speed (75/15 here, but usually it's more like 90/20.)
When apps allow it, I configure them to keep user-specific data on my user
data drive. I also try to get them to save their configuration data to my
data drive. Unfortunately, some apps don't let you change their data and/or
configuration locations. These days it's often in C:\Users\<your user
ID>\AppData. I have to be content with that data being backed up to local
hard drives only.
I've also configured Windows to do a scheduled System Restore Point each
day, but it doesn't always work. Typically it's done when updates are
applied and sometimes when apps are installed. When I remember, I do one
manually. These restore points can be crucial if your system gets messed up
by a hardware failure or problem with a Windows update.
As you can tell, I'm a proponent of belt-and-suspenders backups. I've been
burned many times, going back as far as 1972. First casualty was a term
paper, back when most college students used typewriters and virtually no
one would have tried to type a paper into a computer. The professor didn't
believe me when I told him that a poor design in the syntax of the user
interface caused me to accidentally erase the paper. He looked at me like
I'd told him my dog ate my homework.

Check DATA sub-mode. Do you want FSK-D or AFSK?
Sounds like you have set FSK-D and need AFSK.

IF you are using the USB connection to the computer, you need to either
switch to the RS 232 port and use that;? OR take the cover off the K3 and
move the little slide switch on the KIO3B board to the opposite position.?
You can then use the USB method.? ?After you have re-installed the
firmware, move the switch back to the other position.
IF your KIO3B board does not have the small switch,? it is an older board
and you have to use a RS232 cable.? Check with Elecraft, and they will
probably switch boards to the newer one with the switch.
I had the same issue awhile back.

I'm on a recent Windows 10 fresh build. I'm not quite comprehending the
installation process for K3_EZ V8.
I have a zipped file which contains an a setup.exe, K3_EZ.application and a
folder of Application Files. Further inside the Application Files folder is
another, K3_EZ_2_0_0_7 folder which contains K3_EZ.application, a Resources
folder and several .deploy file and one .manifest file.
It is not clear to me where to unzip the original K3_EZ_V2008.zip folder to
and precisely what to do with the contents.
What I've done so far seems to yield failure. I do have .NET 2.0 and .NET

Specific instructions will be appreciated.

Good Evening,
??? I searched up and down on the forty meter band to find an
unoccupied frequency.? From 7030 to 7070 kHz there was a swath of RTTY
folks tweedeling away.? Oh well, the band sounded good though which
bodes well for the future.
? On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND
AB9V - Mike - IN
K6XK - Roy - IA
K4JPN - Steve - GA
? Twenty meters was very quiet today with mild and slow QSB. Everyone I
could hear was good copy even if the signals dropped below S0.? Forty
meters also sounded good filled with RTTY signals of various strength
levels.? There was a little storm noise there too.
?? Tomorrow the falling trees will awaken me a little after dawn.? This
logging company falls trees the old fashioned way: with saws so they use
natural light.? Larger companies have a variety of large falling
equipment which have lots of lights attached.? They start work two to
three hours before dawn to take advantage of the moisture.? I'm glad
these guys let me sleep late :)

I noticed some bugs with that version of K3_EZ. I think they were in
saving TQ EQ settings, but I don't remember for sure. The 2005 or 2007
versions didn't have those bugs.
I believe the developer is a SK.

I would recommend you unzip it to a new folder and then run the setup.exe.

I'm on a recent Windows 10 fresh build. I'm not quite comprehending

I have a zipped file which contains an a setup.exe,

the Application Files folder is another, K3_EZ_2_0_0_7 folder which
contains K3_EZ.application, a Resources folder and several .deploy file and
one .manifest file.
It is not clear to me where to unzip the original K3_EZ_V2008.zip
folder to and precisely what to do with the contents.
What I've done so far seems to yield failure. I do have .NET 2.0
and .NET

Sorry, I meant TX EQ.

I noticed some bugs with that version of K3_EZ. I think they were in saving
TQ EQ settings, but I don't remember for sure. The 2005 or 2007 versions
didn't have those bugs.
I believe the developer is a SK.

IF you are using the USB connection to the computer, you need to either
switch to the RS 232 port and use that;? OR take the cover off the K3 and
move the little slide switch on the KIO3B board to the opposite position.?
You can then use the USB method.? ?After you have re-installed the
firmware,
move the switch back to the other position.
IF your KIO3B board does not have the small switch,? it is an older board
and you have to use a RS232 cable.? Check with Elecraft, and they will
probably switch boards to the newer one with the switch.
I had the same issue awhile back.

I have used for years a K3 on EME with WSJT using Line In/Out audio.
Recently got a K3S and I am now using USB (CODEC) audio in and out of the
radio. In WSJT-10 they have Rate In/Rate Out monitors that should normally
run at 1.000. Using the K3 analog audio these always stayed right on 1.000
but now that I am using the USB audio they are jumping around quite often
and getting out of range indicated in WSJT with a red marker. I have tried
two different computers and the same result. I tried changing the sample
rate in the computer audio settings but no change in the problem. I plan
to go back to analog Line In/Out on the K3S unless someone has an idea on
how to settle down the Rate In/Out fluctuations. I have not found anything
in the K3S that might affect this. You can reply off line if you like. 73

John,
Thanks for that post.? The B Bender, while not Elecraft related, sure
was an interesting wrinkle in guitar tech, and all from the minds of
Clarence White and Gene Parsons.? Clarence White was a huge presence
tragically cut short at the age of 29.? I learn so much from this reflector.

Mike, I would be interested in what you find. Since Microsoft and then HRD
did upgrades I have not been able to get WSJT to work with HRD and my K3S,
therefore, the logging from FT* to HRD will not work. When I try to set
things up I get a message: Hamlib error: IO error while opening
connection to rig. I am running a USB cable which worked fine until all
the upgrades. Very interested in what you find.

I?ve had zero issues with WSJT-X over HRD and now that the logging hooks

It just works.
