Hello Elecrafters, First of all let me say that I have RTFM, and RTFHF (read the freaking help file) before posting this. I have read many digests both from here and on the Elecraft KX3 Yahoo group. Greg (K2UM) has the same issue and so does one other person (call, name uncertain). So, I am posting this here in hopes it has happened to someone and they have a solution.
In an attempt to update to 2.25, the MCU load failed. If just froze during the process. After waiting a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes) to complete,I closed the Utility and tried to manually restart the KX3. No luck. I don't have batteries in my KX3 so I pulled the power and then tried to bring up the radio. "MCU LD" still stuck on the display. Tried the hold power buttons down for 10 seconds and all that outlined in the Help topic in the KX3 Utility. No luck. As a last resort, I figured I would just EEINT and reload config file or re-calibrate. The radio will not EEINT. I have left power off overnight and tried many steps to revive it this morning. I will mention that I had the PX3 in line but not on. I now know to update all firmware with the USB cable directly from computer to radio. Unless Wayne, Eric, anyone else has any ideas, it looks like I may have to send the rig home for repairs. Thanks, 73.
