Just got my XG3 and tested a few radios already. Very slick. Then I installed the XG3 Utility on a Windows 7 machine that all of my Elecraft Utilities are on. The XG3 Utility recognized the XG3 on Com port 5 and indicated it was communicating at 9600 baud. I then went to the firmware tab of the Utility and had it check for new files and it retrieved them. I then clicked on Send Firmware to XG3 and followed the instructions of turning off the XG3 and then holding the on/off button for 10 seconds at which time the 0 dBm light started blinking but not slowly -- it was blinking pretty fast. I then selected "OK" and a new screen came up indicating that it the firmware was being sent. However, after about ten minutes the 0 dBm light was still blinking very fast and no firmware was loaded and the loading indication bar showed nothing -- no progress in loading. I finally gave up and cancelled the firmware load. I'm lost -- probably stupid -- but still lost. To get the XG3 to shut down I tried holding the on/off button to no avail. I finally removed the battery to get it shut down.
Any help would be deeply appreciated. 73, Greg K2UM ______________________________________________________________ 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
