Hello,
My name is joe. I have a K3 I think from the beginning of them it is serial#
1050. But I was trying upgrade firmware as it has never been done. Any how I
did not realize that the USB to serial cable that came with the radio would no
longer work because of outdated drivers. I had tried to down load drivers for
the old prolific chip set serial adapter cable I don’t know if I got a bad
driver or what happened because I did not realize anything was wrong until
hours later. Anyhow I was never able to connect to the radio as far as I could
tell. I never got a successful connection test it brought up the available
current firmware versions but never displayed what was in the radio or I guess
mean gave current to the radio. So when I found out from tech support that
cable set would not work and I needed there new one. They said they would send
it to me two weeks ago. I guess there no doing much of anything there in CA.
but thought that was it for the time being.
Well later that night I turned the radio off and back on. And that’s when it
showed it ugly little head. I had absolutely no control with any buttons or
knobs. Even the power button would not turn it off. I turned it off and back
on. I did it multiple time leave differ time frames between the two. So I take
it that the firmware is gone. And at this point I am just hoping I can get it
loaded back up when ever I get the new cable. Thank you very much for any
advice in advance.
