MCU LD and K3 Utility
Locked
 
|
Things are really balled up. I tried to upload the latest firmware but as I
was checking to see which serial port was connected to the computer, the K3 Utility blew up and in spite of my best efforts to uninstall and reinstall, when I launch it, it tried to connect to the K3 on a port that doesn't exist and just hangs and crashes. I've rebooted, looked for a .ini file that might be referenced for that bogus port, but I can't find it. This is on a windows machine running XP with all the latest updates. Of course, the K3 is hung up in MCU LD mode and since I can't talk to it, just sits there. I've powered down for an hour or more and tried but to no avail. I am hoping to be active in IARU so this is the last thing I need right now. HELP Please!

Hi Pete, I was waiting to see if K6KR or someone more knowledgeable than I was around, but I guess not, so here goes. Run REGEDIT. Look for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elecraft\K3 Utility That's where the port (and other) information is kept. I hope this helps. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

If you can, would you describe "blew up" better for me (a private e-mail
would be fine). I'd like to determine what happened and fix it, if I can. The K3 Utility retains its information, as Vic described, in the Windows Registry. Start Regedit from the Windows start menu "run" box, and then navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Elecraft\K3 Utility. You may delete the entire key and all the named values, as the K3 Utility creates this key with default values on each startup if it's not already there. The COM port name is part of that information.

The registry key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elecraft\K3 Utility. Too
much Microsoft going on here today! 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Dick Dievendorff Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 10:47 AM To: 'Peter Chamalian' Cc: 'Elecraft' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] MCU LD and K3 Utility If you can, would you describe "blew up" better for me (a private e-mail would be fine).

Dick, the utility just hangs. Not Responsive and does not let me do
anything -- change tabs, etc. It needs a time out to recover in such cases. I can make it crash and send you the resulting error from Windows if that will be of help. Do I just delete that entry?
