Reuben, I differ with you on the statement that the "K2 isn't exactly cut out for data modes". If you activate the RTTY filter set and adjust the filters for that mode, then you have a good transceiver for data modes. The RTTY mode allows you to set the compression (SSBC menu parameter)

Larry, One thing to try is to tuck the ribbon cable and speaker cable to the KPA100 up into the space between the top of the Control Board and the KPA100. Remove the right side panel to easily do that. The object is to route those wires as far away from the KSB2 board as possible. 73, Don

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

I have successfully un-bricked my K3. No attempt to load 4.83 would work. Even after updating to the current version of the utility and trying a different USB/Serial device. However, I was able to successfully load the 4.67 firmware. After I did that, I did a Send New Firmware to K3

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

PS - the specific error I get is: “FPF Programming Failed. “Verify file source and revision. Turn the K3 off and back on, then re-try the firmware load.” I’ve re-downloaded the files from Elecraft a couple of times using the K3 Utility. I’ve powered off and on many times. Suggestions?? On

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

Ouch. Maybe try deleting the firmware files from your computer and then download them from Elecraft and try again? I think I've heard that sometimes files can get corrupted when being downloaded. Good luck and73, Fred KE7X -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

Bill, Try this - first download the latest K3 Utility and get the new firmware files as usual (Check for New Firmware). Then using the Advanced tab of K3 Utility, Check the DSP1 box and click Load checked firmware. When that completes, do the same for the FPF loading only that firmware.

Are you using a USB/Serial adapter? If you have another one of a different type, or a real COM port, you might try them instead 73/GL, ~iain / N6ML On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 2:17 PM, Bill Coleman aa...@arrl.net wrote: I noticed this weekend that Elecraft had updated the firmware (not

No. It wasn’t very obvious how you do that. I’ll check it out. On Mar 31, 2014, at 5:45 PM, Phil Wheeler w...@socal.rr.com wrote: Have you tried to re-load the last released (not beta) version? 73, Phil W7OX On 3/31/14, 2:33 PM, Bill Coleman wrote: On Mar 31, 2014, at 5:31 PM, Cady, Fred

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

Yes, if course I’m using a USB/Serial adapter. This is a MacBook, after all. I don’t have one of a different type handy. It’s just weird that the MCU firmware downloads 100% ok each time, but the FPF does not. Why that would be a serial port problem is beyond me…. Unfortunately, Macs have

Re: [Elecraft] Help! I have bricked my K3.

Hmmm ... OK Bill. Here's my experience, yours may vary for a variety of reasons but for what it's worth: I've never had a Mac and know nothing about them. I *have* had occasional problems with the uploads from my Windoze XP and subsequently Windoze 7 laptops. So far, in all cases,

One place to find old FW versions is the beta archives on your own computer. Betas are same as released FW with same number. I think Elecraft also has old beta FW on beta site. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill On Mar 31, 2014, at 9:51 PM, Bill Coleman aa...@arrl.net wrote: No. It wasn’t

Re: [Elecraft] Help - Elecraft Shutting Down

Dear all, Just as a quick feedback : the Alinco DM330MVE was replaced by a much heavier Diamond GSV-3000 today. So far the issue seems to have gone. Last night I realised that just slightly touching the DM330MVE resulted in a voltage drop most of over 5v ... Trying to set in manually to the

Re: [Elecraft] Help - Elecraft Shutting Down

Hi Ron, I'm glad I found your email as my K3 (#5426) has been experiencing the same issues for a couple of days. I did not dismantle it for now to see if it's related to the burned connector issue as I would like to try it with another power supply first (and i need to borrow one first from

Re: [Elecraft] Help - Elecraft Shutting Down

Martin, One thing to check is the blades in the Anderson PowerPole connector at the end of the cable. Peer into the end of the cable - if you see the ends of two metal blades in either side of the connector, the contact blade has not been fully seated behind the securing spring - give it a
