[Elecraft] Issues after loading 2.34--Gremlins--Need Help!
Hi Everyone, I have a 2.34/1.89 firmware loading issue to report. My K3 #371 has been functioning perfectly until this evening. It has the sub-receiver installed which has been working fine as well. Tonight I decided to load 2.34 Beta and did so successfully but after a second attempt. My first attempt resulted in no DSP being loaded in DSP1 but it did load into DSP 2. I got the following error message 'E000202' on the Main display and 'ERR DSE' on the VFO B display. After my successful second attempt load I then got 'ERR PL 1' on the VFO B display when changing bands. It disappeared after a second or two but reappeaed on each band change. Lots of background noise but no signals. I attempted to recalibrate PL1. After the recal. it now displays ERR VCO E 5 and then Er VC4 E00255. I reverted back to 2.23 and now get 'ERR PL 2'. So I again re calibrated the VCO's main and sub and all appears to be ok after several recalibration attempts. But I am back to running 2.23. I'd like to try 2.34 What's happening here? I am at a loss to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I also e-mail K3 support but thought I would post here as it is a holiday weekend.

I don't know, but until Don or Lyle or someone who might actually know appears, you might try this: 1) Set the K3 baudrate to 38400. 2) Select Send All Firmware to K3 in the K3 Utility and resend 2.34 (if you don't have this checkbox, go to View and DE-select Advanced Mode). In case the firmware didn't load completely, this will give you the best chance of getting everything in sync. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Issues after loading 2.34--Gremlins--Need Help!
Dave, That sounds like a computer or USB to serial adapter problem rather than a K2 problem. If you can, try again using a computer with a real serial port and let us know the results. In many, many firmware downloads associated with Firmware Field test, I have never experienced a failure - but I am using a real serial port. 73, Don W3FPR David and Dianne on Comcast wrote: Hi Everyone, I have a 2.34/1.89 firmware loading issue to report.
