Somehow while loading rev 5.54 to my K3, it locked up.
It is hung up with the TX led flashing and the screen saying MCU LD. What can I do to recover from this disaster? thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

There is a procedure in K3 Utility Help, Trouble shooting MCU load failure.

David,
That happens when the firmware load is interrupted for some reason or another - usually a computer glitch. I have never heard of it being a K3 failure. Follow the instructions given in the K3 Utility Help file under "Forcing a Firmware Download" - Information is also in the K3 manual. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2016 10:12 PM, David F.

Had the same problem early on. I was not happy. The procedure is called Forcing a Firmware Download. Its on page 47 of the K3s manual, and probably close by if you have a K3.
