K3 APF Problem

[radioshoppe]

Vic,

Thank you for the response.  You may be heading me in the right direction.  I had the K3 Utility download the latest of all the firmware's from the website and told it to install them.  It shows it downloaded and installed FPF 1.09.  You mention it should be 1.14.  I'll try to find it on the site, download and install it and see what happens.

Strange that what should apparently be the latest release is not directly available when the Utility checks the website.  That creates problems for people like me.

I'll post results when there is something new.

Take pride in the USA. 73

Make sure that the front panel code is also updated. The proper version for 4.25 is 1.14.
Also make sure the proper DSP table is present when you update; it should be DTBL0014.HEX.
If all the versions aren't synchronized you can have problems like you describe.
