If you purchased an Elecraft P3TXMON accessory board for your P3, you will need to download and install the 1.50 P3 BETA firmware release into your P3 (see instructions below). The P3TXMON will ONLY work with firmware versions 1.50 or above.
Download and install BETA firmware for your P3: NOTE: Beta test firmware may have new issues that we haven't caught during field testing. Please report them to k3supp...@elecraft.com. Follow these steps to load a P3 beta firmware release: 1. Create a new folder for the beta firmware on your Desktop or some other easily found location. (Don't use the same folder you use for the regular firmware release; you may want to keep those files around in case you decide to go back to that revision.) 2. In a web browser, type in this URL: ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta NOTE: On some computers, it may take some time for a directory of the beta files to appear. If you do not see the correct files, press 'refresh' on your browser to reload the page. You should see the file: P3-0150_SVGA-0124BETA.zip If you do not see this version of the zip file, press the RELOAD / REFRESH button on your browser to update your browser cache. 3. Right-click on the .zip file containing the beta firmware (e.g. P3-0150_SVGA-0124BETA.zip). Save the file to your beta folder. 4. Unzip the files into the beta folder. 5. Enter the path to the beta folder in P3 Utility ("Local folder for firmware files"). 6. Make sure you *DO NOT* check the P3 Utility box titled "Copy new files from Elecraft server". 7. Click on "Check versions now". Your P3 must be connected to the computer and turned on. 8. Review the release notes (under the "Help" pull-down menu). 9. Click "Send all firmware to P3." 10. Please report any new firmware issues to k3supp...@elecraft.com 73, Paul n6hz -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3TXMON-Important-Information-Regarding-Firmware-tp7605799.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
