Gary,
K3 utility sets the data rate of the K3 automatically, so that is not
the problem. Look first at your computer (reboot), and your serial
cable (try another cable if possible).

I have been using the K3 on PSK31 and I suspect the K3 is set for
19200 kbs, if so, I am guessing this is why the utility program cannot
connect?
I have tried many times to reconnect and reset but no luck as yet.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Guy's
I am using a serial cable, not had any problems b4 with downloads.
Tried to download latest Beta when it all went south.
Repeated on/off has not helped so far.
Let me get this correct in my head.
1. turn off linear power supply.
2 wait 10 seconds.
3 Reboot windows xp pro
Should I start the utility 1st?...(I am using latest version) or
the radio?
I am seeing the radio come on when I press the button and the
led's are bright. If I keep holding the power button the radio
comes on, no backlight just flashing red tx light and MCU LD on
the display.
Thanks guys.
Gary

Gary,
If possible, use a real serial port instead of a USB/serial
adapter.
If you are using a USB/serial adapter, plug it into a native
USB port, not into a hub.
Close K3 Utility and reboot the computer.
Remove the power cable from the K3 for at least 5 seconds
Hold the K3 power switch down for at least 10 seconds
Open K3 Utility and "Send All New Firmware".
If that does not cure things, check your computer serial
connections - try a new cable, etc.

I am hoping somebody can help solve this.
I attempted to load the latest Beta software when suddenly
the download failed.
Unable to communite with the K3 from the loader (latest
version) and the power off to force a reset and download
results in "Unable to communicate with K3" error msg appears.
The flashing yellow light appeared first, now
extinguished, just the flashing red Tx light, unlit screen
and MCU LD in the display.
Anyone have any suggestions to try next?
73's
