That's what I do with mine. The update even tells me to turn off the P3 if I have it on. Not too hard for me to do.

if the operator fails to follow Elecraft's instructions to 'TURN OFF THE P3 FIRST' why is it Elecraft's fault the updating fails? just wondering.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / P3 firmware
OK, try cabling the RS-232 cable from the PC directly to the K3, removing the P3 from the serial port circuit as well. It should be OK with the bypass relay in the P3, but it removes one more potential cause of the problem. Have you changed the COM port # on the Port tab of the K3 Utility from its earlier, successful value? Try rebooting your computer, maybe the COM port is in some funky state and simply restarting the K3 Utility isn't enough.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / P3 firmware
Phil, Don't worry about the K3 utility polling K3. When you turn the K3 back on AFTER the P3 is unplugged from power, K3 utility will find the K3 and finish the load. The key is that the P3 MUST be off, and NOT come back on during the K3 software load. UNPLUG physically the power from the P3. 73, Don, WB5HAK __ 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

Re: [Elecraft] K3 / P3 firmware
The newest P3 Owner's manual revision (A5) covers this: K3 MCU LD Error If you attempt to download firmware to the K3 while the P3 is turned on, the K3 may become unresponsive in bootstrap mode (MCU LD displayed on the K3’s LCD). Clear the condition as follows: Turn the P3 off. If the P3 is configured to turn on automatically when power is applied to the K3, disconnect power from the P3’s rear panel. It’s important that the P3 remain off throughout the procedure. Disconnect power from the K3’s rear panel. Exit the K3 Utility program at your computer. Reconnect power to the K3’s rear panel and turn the K3 on. Be sure the P3 does not come on with the K3. If it did, repeat the procedure from the beginning and be sure to unplug the P3’s power cable. It won’t work to turn the P3 off once it has turned on. Restart the K3 Utility at your computer, and reload the firmware. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Phil Theis Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 5:04 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 / P3 firmware Got new P3 and worked fine.
