Thanks to Dick for pointing me to manual FW loading. This worked very well and I now have both my K3 and P3's FW updated.
The reason I felt this was necessary: Our Field Day was one typhoon after another with multiple heavy downpours and thunder/lightning. Through multiple shutdowns, our FD team faced this adversity well and we made the best of it - and had fun. We did however sustain some minor damage thought to be due to lightning bursts. Our digital station consists of my K3 / P3 with TXBPF filters, LDG 200 tuner, and an early model MH Microkeyer. The pre-FD checks were perfect. However, just before tee-time, when we turned everything on, we noticed that the computer was not seeing audio and the P3 showed no signal activity even though the radio was fine and signals were multiple. Despite all attempts, we were left with trying a FW update. I took the K3 / P3 home and did this. However, the P3 still does not see signals. I put my signal generator on the K3 at 50 uV and still no signal seen. Taking just the K3 back to the FD site, I hooked things up without the P3, hoping the audio issue would be corrected. No dice. The Microkeyer appears to be damaged as well. The audio was redirected directly from the computer to the radio, bypassing the Microkeyer, and that worked fine. Bottom line is I need to get my P3 fixed and maybe I can get an out-of-production Microkeyer fixed as well.
