Re: [Elecraft] failed K3

I fully agree. When I have had a problem with my K3, mostly ones with my installing upgrades, I have gotten excellent support from Elecraft Support. They have told me how to signal trace through the radio, and I have been able to effect the necessary fixes my self. As I remember, the most recent

[Elecraft] Failed K3

Rick, Can you provide more detail about how your K3 failed? My impression from reading not only this reflector, but also the K3 and K4 groups.io fora, is that Elecraft is fully occupied with K4 support and firmware evolution. Others note longer than historically observed service times for units o

Hi, as you need just backup solution until your main K3 will be back from service I would recommend to find and purchase on QTH.com or QRZ.com some used K3 in great condition coolly with less options installed to be immediately QRV with rest of K-line. When your main K3 will be back you will ha

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

Thanks Don, I talked with Howard at Elecraft today about the radio. He thinks there might be a memory problem and the new firmware that is address-ably larger is causing the problem. They would have to see the radio to verify this. If this is the case then he would recommend updating the DSP board

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

Matthew, You should not have to do incremental firmware updates. Keep the 2.19 firmware files "just in case", but delete the latest firmware files from the folder where you have the firmware stored on your computer in case the copies you have are corrupt. Open K3 Utility (make sure it is the

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

I have approx 35 firmware zips from 2.10 through 5.01. This isn't the complete set; only the ones for which I was interested in upgrading some feature on my K3. You can have them if you want but as far as I know installing intermediate revisions is not required. 73, Drew AF2Z On 07/20/16 00

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

Well, Howard was able to send me FW 2.19 and I had a successful flash to the K3. Now I tried to jumped from version 2.19 to 5.38, is there a bug in jumping this far? Is there a DSP hardware revision that may have an issue with current version of firmware (older radio, 1st gen, etc...?)??? Anyways

Forgive me if I missed something Did you use the utility to save a backup of your radio -before- attempting the update? 73 K0PP On Jul 19, 2016 2:26 PM, "Matthew Lawson" wrote: > Well, I got a response from Elecraft, they had me clean the pins on the RF > board. This did not work and now

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

Well, I got a response from Elecraft, they had me clean the pins on the RF board. This did not work and now I have been asked to ship them my radio. :( So this looks like my attempt at getting up to date firmware and fixes have left me with a nonworking K3, that operated fine, and I have to ship El
