Tom, Use a direect serial port connection or a USB to RS232 connection and it will pick up right where it left off.
I could not update with my old MicroKeyer either so I hooked up a USB to RS232 and it updated the radio's firmware without a hitch. So, take the Microkeyer out when updating firmware to be safe. 73, Bob W5OV > After using 2.57 for several months I decided to upgrade to latest > software.
