*Good morning, Folks.* ** *I had a mystery with my KX3 this morning!* *I woke up this morning to a "DEAD" receiver in my KX3 on 40m. (Last night when I was using it, it was fully operational!) I then checked all of the switches & connections and they seem to be correct and tight. **I then tried my K2 and there was "static" on 40m as is normal around here. * ** *Yesterday I had installed Beta Firmware v1.44 beta and luckily [or unluckily, whichever way you want to look at it] "SAVED" my configuration. At one time the latest KX3 Utility (1.12.8.11 for Windows) even indicated that it didn't look as if I had a KX3 "attached": which I definitely did. [It's ALWAYS connected to my computer via an Elecraft USB Cable.]*
*Now here is another mysterious twist! I had resigned myself I was going to have to box up my KX3 to send off for repair. But then I thought I would give a try to that wonderful "RESTORE" option in the Utility before I resorted to such a drastic move. (I had restored my K3 to operation in the past with this option/procedure with another Beta version of the K3 Firmware: I didn't report this malfunction and I should have!) I went through the operation of a "RESTORE" of my saved configuration (v1.44 Beta) and jwalah (? - spelling but you get the point), my KX3 came back to life.* *Is this a flaw in Beta v1.44 Version of the Firmware?* *Best 72 & 73.* *Jim..........* *WA4NTM* ______________________________________________________________ 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
