Dave,
That sounds like a computer or USB to serial adapter problem rather than
a K2 problem.
If you can, try again using a computer with a real serial port and let
us know the results.
In many, many firmware downloads associated with Firmware Field test, I
have never experienced a failure - but I am using a real serial port.

Hi Everyone,
I have a 2.34/1.89 firmware loading issue to report.
My K3 #371 has been functioning perfectly until this evening. It has
the sub-receiver installed which has been working fine as well.
Tonight I decided to load 2.34 Beta and did so successfully.... but
after a second attempt.
My first attempt resulted in no DSP being loaded in DSP1 but it did
load into DSP 2. I got the following error message 'E000202' on the
Main display and 'ERR DSE' on the VFO B display.
After my successful second attempt load I then got 'ERR PL 1' on the
VFO B display when changing bands. It disappeared after a second or
two but reappeaed on each band change. Lots of background noise but no
signals.
I attempted to recalibrate PL1. After the recal. it now displays ERR
VCO E 00005 and then Er VC4 E00255.
I reverted back to 2.23 and now get 'ERR PL 2'. So I again re
calibrated the VCO's main and sub and all appears to be ok after
several recalibration attempts. But I am back to running 2.23. I'd
like to try 2.34
What's happening here?
I am at a loss to figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I also e-mail K3 support but thought I would post here as it is a
holiday weekend.
Dave- N1LQ
