After using 2.57 for several months I decided to upgrade to latest software. Started the K3 Utility, V 1.1.6.3 and had it check the website for upgrade. This is from the K3 Utility log:
13:31:24 K3 Utility Version 1.1.6.3 13:34:18 Opening connection to ftp.elecraft.com 13:34:18 Connected to Elecraft server. Please be patient, this takes a few seconds. 13:34:24 Copying files to C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Elecraft\K3 Firmware 13:34:31 Copied hmcu0278.hex from Elecraft 13:34:35 Copied HDSP0198.HEX from Elecraft 13:34:40 Copied HAUX0198.HEX from Elecraft 13:34:43 Copied hfwnotes.rtf from Elecraft 13:34:45 Copied K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt from Elecraft 13:34:45 Copied 5 files from Elecraft to C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Elecraft\K3 Firmware 13:34:45 Ready 13:37:28 K3 failed to enter MCU firmware load mode 13:37:36 MCU programming failed. Verify file source and version. Turn the K3 off and back on, then re-try the firmware load. 13:37:42 Ready 13:42:31 K3 is not responding 13:42:31 K3 is not responding 13:42:33 Ready 13:43:57 K3 is not responding 13:43:57 K3 is not responding 13:43:59 Ready 13:49:50 K3 is not responding 13:49:54 K3 is not responding I tried turning on and off the rig, of course by having to kill the power supply and holding the Power switch on until MCU LD reappears...along with flashing TX led. I am using the microKeyer II as my interface and went to the K3 port (3) and clicked on the "disable router inquiries" before starting the upgrade process. I did save the previous config using the K3 utility but now the K3 is not responding to the com port so K3 utility is essentially dead... Help!
