K3 update problem
Locked
 
|
Hi, After having successfully completed several updates of the firmware of my K3, it suddenly has stopped working, my K3 is not responding. After seeing this I upgraded the K3 update utility to the latest and greatest, also new drivers for my original Elecraft delivered USB-serial converter. Forcing K3 into MCU upload mode doesn't work.... Any ideas? vy 73 Eric PA3CEV K2 960 K3 122 -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Would you go back to the Windows Device Manager, find the properties page,
Driver Tab for the USB to Serial Adapter cable, and let me know what driver version you've installed? A couple of people had to install drivers a couple of times.

I have a question about the drivers and the update software. Are
they Vista compatible?

The K3 Utility (and the KUSB drivers) work on Windows Vista. I'm using a
Vista laptop as one of my two primary test machines. I use the Elecraft KUSB and I got the Vista drivers from the Microsoft Update web site when I first plugged the KUSB in, without using the driver diskette that came with the KUSB. I just plugged the KUSB in and waited while Microsoft Update did its work automatically. The K3 Utility includes a Vista-aware "exe manifest" so that Vista is informed directly that the K3 Utility requests no special privileges.

Hi, Stan!
You bet! I have a laptop with Vista Home Basic and the K3 Utility program works great. Remember, a key to the success of updating the K3 is how it is connected to the computer. If you use an RS232 - USB adapter (ours or anyone else's) always make sure they have the correct drivers (see the K3 Utility "Help" file for details). Also, if you use a USB "hub", it should be externally powered with a "wall wort". Hubs that use the host pc for power are usually underpowered and can cause download failures. Let us know how well the update process works for you! Brian Broggie - W6FVI Production Test Engineer, Elecraft, Inc. Stan Rife wrote: > I have a question about the drivers and the update software.
