In trying to load this new FW version, I discovered that there appears to be an interaction between the proper operation of the serial interface and the "Sleep When Idle" option. If the oscillator is not running due to the timeout enabled by this option, as can be seen on my P3 at 28.004 MHz, then a serial command does not work reliably and firmware updates produce an error message about an incorrect device.
>From a quick and dirty experiment, it looks like the first typed "an;" command restarts the oscillator but produces no output. The second command also produces no output. The third "an;" produces the expected "AN1;" response. After disabling the "Sleep When Idle" option, the firmware load was successful. Has anyone else seen this? ----- 73, Stan - KR7C -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Need-volunteers-to-try-an-even-better-version-of-KAT500-firmware-rev-1-63-more-accurate-initial-tunes-tp7584707p7584724.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 Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
