New P3

[jal2257]

I just put together a new P3 and it isn't seeing the rig. It also will not see the computer through the P3 Utility with the serial cable. If I unplug power from the P3, I can see the K3 through the same cable using the K3 Utility (same comport, 4). I am using an Aten usb adapter, but it works fine on the K3 direct or through the P3 with power off. So, I assume its not the cable or the USB adapter.

I've tried various combinations of baud rates, but the P3 Utility just keeps attempting to contact the P3 on port COM4 and never connects.

Every time I turn on the P3 it says:

P3 BOOTLOADER
INVALID SAVED STATE DATA
USING DEFAULT VALUES
CHECKSUM TEST

The P3 is reading the IF input and displaying the Spectrum Display and Waterfall Display, but doesn't show frequency (reads 0) and won't tap to QSY.

P3 firmware shows to be 01.20
SVGA firmware shows to be 99.99 and I get no video out to my monitor.

Thanks for any help!

It sounds like the EEPROM data got corrupted somehow.  Try doing a
Parameter Initialization as described in the P3 Owner's Manual.
