It has been about 3 weeks since I last switched on my K3 and when I did so just now, VFO A said "FPF Load" and VFO B said "Pending". It was working OK when I last switched it off.
I decided that the best thing to do would be to load the latest beta firmware, which was what I was going to do anyway, but the K3 Utility reported: Sending firmware file hfpf0002.hex to FPF 21:40:28 Send FPF firmware failed at load address x7b1f 21:40:28 FPF program load failed 21:40:28 Ready The receiver appears to be working and I can tune the VFO, although I have no idea where I am as the VFO display just reads FPF Load / Pending. While typing this I managed to clear the problem by pressing Band Down until I got to the lower bands, when I saw that frequencies were appearing again. When I press Band Up frequencies are now appearing, but when I move up to 21MHz or any higher band VFO B briefly displays ERR PL1 before showing the frequency. Having got to this point, I tried to upload the firmware again and this time it appears to have been successful. So what went wrong? The previous firmware was, I think, 2.13 beta. All seems OK now but it was a scary moment that I could have done without. ----- Julian, G4ILO http://www.g4ilo.com/ G4ILO's Shack http://www.ham-directory.com/ Ham Directory -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-FPF-Load-failed-tp666390p666390.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
