Guy, I thought maybe that was the problem as well. But since it originally showed that it needed a firmware update and that there was no firmware installed (the dashes where it should show the firmware version installed and the Pop-up window indicating that the boot loader was ready to install firmware) I assumed that possibly there was an update. The grayed out text in all of the tab windows threw me however, and that is when I really started to suspect either a lousy Serial to USB converter, driver needing an update, something flaky about the Utility and 32 bit Windows --- or taking a deep breath and walking away and and coming back to it with a fresh state of mind. Then my decades of ham radio experience paid off --- check the damn connectors! I don't post much here since I like to sit back, read and learn. I hate to publicly announce I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I thank all of you who scratched their heads and thought about the problem and a thanks to those who wrote to me with suggestions. This is a fine group of people. 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
