Elecraft K3 Utility

Paul Milward
Help
I'm doing something wrong...................and I don't know what it is
I cannot get the K3 Utility to upload new "versions" to the rig. I also cannot upload macros. I was able to do both a few months ago when I first got the rig.

!!!news flash....I.m basically computer illiterate

I get this when I attempt to upload "versions"

08:54:08 Ready
08:54:08 K3 bootloader is ready for MCU firmware load. COM3 RS-232 speed 38400 bps
08:54:39 Sending firmware file hmcu0397.hex to MCU
08:54:39 Send MCU firmware failed at load address x0800
08:54:39 MCU firmware load failed
08:54:39 Clock "Close" to close this window

Re: Elecraft K3 Utility

Dick Dievendorff
This is the sort of response you might get when you have chosen a different
COM port than the one your K3 is connected to.  The COM port you've chosen
is echoing everything sent to it.  Maybe it's a modem.

  So try the "Test communications" button on the "Port" tab of the utility to see if
the 'puter and K3 are in the mood.

Re: Elecraft K3 Utility

Paul Milward
tried test commo and got this

K3 boot loader is ready for firmware load. COM3 RS-232 speed 38400 bps

I think this means rig/computer talking to each other but still unable to load

In reply to this post by Paul Milward
I got the same message when i was using wrong comport. I have the navigator interface connected to the K3 and it shows two comports for "PPT and Cat". It was set on the wrong comport. Don't ask me how the heck it changed, but it did. Switched comports and i was in bizzness.
