[Elecraft] Thanks for the help.

I finally was able to get my upgraded K-3 to recognize my K-3 utility via USB. I deleted the utility from my computer and reloaded it, then left the K-3 with the power disconnected over night. This morning I connected the USB cable to the computer and then started it. I waited to make sure it

Re: [Elecraft] K3 appears to be bricked

Did you have the KIO3B board installed during the repair so you have an 8P8C connector (sometimes called an RJ-45) on the rear panel? If so, you MUST use the 8P8C and an RS232 port on the computer to reinstall following a failed load. On the front of the KIO3B main board, near the speaker cable

Re: [Elecraft] Commander in DxLab locking up

This is a well known symptom of a loss of the virtual serial port - Windows is turning off power to the USB port feeding the K3S (or the K3S is being turned off before the computer). It can also occur if common mode RFI results in a high RF voltage on either the USB port in the computer or the

The KDVR3 has the ability to capture the last 90 seconds of received audio.  Is there is a way of exporting this audio to the PC?  I was hoping to find that capability in the K3 Utility, but didn’t see anything there.  I could capture it off of the headphone jack, running it through a audio to

Re: [Elecraft] K3 appears to be bricked

Mike, Remove the K3 power cord and wait at least 2 minutes. While waiting, reboot the computer and after it comes up, power on the K3. Check to see if K3 Utility can find the K3. Try the Force Firmware Download again. If that still does not work, disconnect everything except the RS-232 cable

I have the same problem with my K-3 from time to time. It’s a major inconvenience but it’s not fatal. I’ve tried a couple of times to get help from this forum but no one seems to have a good answer. My best theory is that there is a defect with the firmware chip. It’s not a widespread defect,

I was in the process of updating my K3's firmware this morning when something apparently burped leaving the K3 bricked. The radio is wired directly to a power supply which also feeds a RigRunner for other stuff. At the time I was also using a small 12V air compressor on the RigRunner. I don't

Re: [Elecraft] K3s Issue

Dave, There are no menu items - KEYOUT should "simply work". Make certain it is not the cable - put your ohmmeter in the KEYOUT jack. During receive it should show an open circuit. During transmit is should be close to zero ohms. If that is how it behaves, the K3 is working properly.
