K3 stopped communicating
Locked
 
|
My K3 (#5244) mysteriously stopped working with HRD. It had been
working FB for months. HRD claimed it could not connect with the K3. I then tried it with the K3 Utility and I got the following: Xe2000011 Bootstrap loader did not echo a D MCU Firmware load failed It's a K3/10 which I built and it works just fine except for this. The USB cable is the Elecraft product. So far I've downloaded a 'fresh' copy of the utility, cold-started the system, and reviewed the process. I'm not particularly computer-literate when it comes to this new-fangled stuff and I'm becoming less enthusiastic every day ;-) (Gimme a System 360/Mod 67, a bank of 2400 bpi tapes, and assembler language any day!) Any suggestions would be appreciated. My gut feel is that it's in the K3. The sudden cessation of communication with HRD for no apparent reason makes me think this way. 73, Stan WB2LQF ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

A 67? Must be a VM guy. I grew up on MFT
Try an alternate USB to Serial adapter. That's the easiest to replace. Dick On Sep 6, 2011, at 14:57, stan levandowski <[hidden email]> wrote: > My K3 (#5244) mysteriously stopped working with HRD.

Assume that you are working with winders, make sure that the com port has
not been reassigned because you added or removed some usb device from the system. Go into device manager, look under com ports and see if your usb adapter is on the com port you expect it on. 73, Guy.

I have the same issue - propably caused by a lightning storm while I was
away from home. Presumably the KIO3 board and the USB to RS232 converter (FTDI) is damaged. 73 Svend, OZ7UV ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
