Hi Alan, Sounds like the firmware upgrade didn't take--possibly due to a brownout--and has to be retried.
First get out of KX3 Utility and power the PC off/on, in case there's an issue with the serial ports. Next, unplug the K3, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in. If the firmware has to be reloaded, you'll see "MCU LD" on VFO B and one LED will flash. At this point try running KX3 Utility again; it should load the new firmware. If this doesn't help, send as much detail as you can to k3support. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 4, 2012, at 9:02 PM, Alan Grant wrote: > I don't know what I have done to my K3, no 5779 I was trying to > update the > Beta 4.51 and the computer just filled through all the attempts to > connect > on different ports at different baud rates, and could not connect, > next > thing I know, the transmit light just keeps on flashing the dial > lights > went out and I can see mcu ld faintly I cannot turn the > > K3 off with its power switch I think I nearly had a heart attack.
