No, that sounds like you got a bad file from the Elecraft file server. I'd recommend erasing the hmcu*.hex file and re-do the "Copy files from elecraft". If you open the hex file in Notepad, every line should start with a colon.

The K3 Utility attempts to communicate with the MCU initially to establish its baud rate. This is done by sending a small command at each of the supported speeds. <snip> Soapbox ON. IMO - This is a tragic WASTE of BITS. And this happens every time there is an update? Calculate the number of updates over the life of the radio, now how big is the bit bucket - remembering ASCII is 7 bits per character plus parity plus start bits and stop bit. Could be some major overflow problems when folks least expect it... _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
