Art - You have it right. In normal use the microHAM unit is in-between the PC and the K3 or if there is a P3 it is PC - P3 - K3. BUT when having to do FW update to the P3 or K3 or screen capture off the P3 the PC needs to be connected directly to the P3 or K3. 73, Bob - W6OPO

It would seem prudent to disconnect your microHAM device and directly connect your P3/K3 combination and effect updates in that manner.

Be sure you have installed and run Router defining the necessary port numbers for all the features in the microKeyer you intend to use. The big cable that you plugged into the back of the microKeyer with all the seperate leads you hooked up to the K3 - one of which is the serial interface (RS232). Now the communication between the PC and K3 is via the microKeyer. Works fine but for one task...FW updates. Be sure to note in the manual about not trying to do any firmware updates in this configuration. You MUST plug the K3 directly into the PC for these updates. Believe me, as the manual says, it does NOT work with the microKeyer in the middle. All information is pretty clear in the MicroHam manual. 73, Bob - W6OPO -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-P3-Microkeyer-tp7556989p7557038. html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 <http://www.qsl.net/> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ 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
