[Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

My K3's serial number is 01341. Everything seems to load fine but fails the DSP1. I have tried reloading and re-downloading, rebooting, both computer and K3. I also looked into downgrading to an older firmware, but I can not find an older archive that goes back far enough to my working configuration, 2.19. I did try what was archived and got the same results. (ftp directory) Please help. I also searched the forums with no avail. most were USB adapter problems. 73 This has rendered my K3 useless. *Matthew Lawson* *KC7EQO* *442.100 + 100 Hz PL Blyn Mt Repeater* *http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R <http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R>* <http:///www.linkedin.com/in/mlawsonkc7eqo> __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1
Well, I got a response from Elecraft, they had me clean the pins on the RF board. This did not work and now I have been asked to ship them my radio. :( So this looks like my attempt at getting up to date firmware and fixes have left me with a nonworking K3, that operated fine, and I have to ship Elecraft my radio and pay their hourly rate to bring the radio back to life. There should be some fail safe or self checking for committing to the update or at least a way to fall back on. For example Cisco does implement a process like this with in their switches and routers. I wanted to update the list on the progress and will let everyone know the outcome. 73 *Matthew Lawson* *KC7EQO* *442.100 + 100 Hz PL Blyn Mt Repeater* *http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R <http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R>* <http:///www.linkedin.com/in/mlawsonkc7eqo> On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 9:37 PM, Matthew Lawson wrote: > LOL oh yes I plan on posting the solution when one arrives. :) > > *Matthew Lawson* > *KC7EQO* > *442.100 + 100 Hz PL Blyn Mt Repeater* > > > *http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R <http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R>* > <http:///www.linkedin.com/in/mlawsonkc7eqo> > > On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 9:13 PM, Guy Olinger K2AV > wrote: > >> You will tell me what finally fixes it, won't you... >> >> Good it's you instead of me.

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1
Well, Howard was able to send me FW 2.19 and I had a successful flash to the K3. Now I tried to jumped from version 2.19 to 5.38, is there a bug in jumping this far? Is there a DSP hardware revision that may have an issue with current version of firmware (older radio, 1st gen, etc...?)??? Anyways my rig is back from being a brick, and is working again. YEAH!!! An observation on this, I accidentally tried to push just the DSP1 Firmware from 2.19 with 5.38 MCU still installed but it would fail, saw my error and corrected it and had a successfully flash when the 2.19 MCU was installed first. This made me wonder if this was part of the problem with the update. Is there some sort of version check with the DSP1 to MCU? I am wanting to try an incremental update from 2.19, but older firmware is not published. Wanted to keep the list updated on whats been happening and thank you for all your support in this. 73 *Matthew Lawson* *KC7EQO* *442.100 + 100 Hz PL Blyn Mt Repeater* *http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R <http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R>* <http:///www.linkedin.com/in/mlawsonkc7eqo> On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 2:02 PM, Matthew Lawson wrote: > I did save the configuration.

Re: [Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1
Thanks Don, I talked with Howard at Elecraft today about the radio. He thinks there might be a memory problem and the new firmware that is address-ably larger is causing the problem. They would have to see the radio to verify this. If this is the case then he would recommend updating the DSP board to the new version. I am going to see if I can update to Version 4.39 tonight and if successful stay there, or if not milk it along until I can afford to send the radio into Elecraft. My radio is an older one serial is 01341 so a new rig might be in order, but that is way down the road. Thanks again to everyone, this community for help has been a great experience, with bricking my K3 aside. Thank you for the quick responses. Now I really have my eyes set on a KX3 :) first things first, get this K3 figured out. 73! *Matthew Lawson* *KC7EQO* *442.100 + 100 Hz PL Blyn Mt Repeater* *http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R <http://www.qrz.com/db/KC7EQO/R>* <http:///www.linkedin.com/in/mlawsonkc7eqo> On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 4:28 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Matthew, > > You should not have to do incremental firmware updates. > Keep the 2.19 firmware files "just in case", but delete the latest > firmware files from the folder where you have the firmware stored on your > computer in case the copies you have are corrupt. > > Open K3 Utility (make sure it is the latest), and then "Get files from > Elecraft" to download the latest production firmware. > > Once you have those files on your computer, click the "Send all files to > the K3" and it should update with no problem. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > > On 7/20/2016 12:08 AM, Matthew Lawson wrote: > >> Well, Howard was able to send me FW 2.19 and I had a successful flash to >> the K3. >> >> Now I tried to jumped from version 2.19 to 5.38, is there a bug in jumping >> this far?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio quality
My K3 has had weak audio on the external speaker, have to crank volume knob up almost all the way up. Seems like there is no amplification.
