P3 Firmware update fails

Hi all

I am trying to upgrade a P3 MCU 1.29 to 1.54 and\or 1.60 (No SVGA option
installed).

When I hit send checked items to P3 the relays click every 2 seconds and
I see 2 messages repeat forever:
1. Attempting to connect P3 on port COM1 at 38400 bit/s in the P3s
utility window,
2. Checking for SVGA on the P3s screen.

No uploading is performed & I can terminate the loop only with the cancel
button.

Environment:
-P3 utility ver 1.16.3.1
-P3 is connected only to PS (13.8v external) & PC (Genuine full RS-232
cable).
-All files are present in the P3 firmware folder (Windows 10 1803 build
17134).

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance,
Isaac, 4Z1TL

In reply to this post by 4z1tl

Bill,

The firmware update is a 2 step process. The first is to download the
firmware files to your computer (check for new files at Elecraft), and
the 2nd is to load those files from your computer to the P3/K3/etc and
requires you to click on Send Files to P3/K3/etc".

From those messages, you are apparently failing on the first step. Try
again and if it continues, contact your ISP.

73,

Re: P3 Firmware update fails.... ME TOO

I had changed the location of the downloaded files... to other than default...
and once I changed the location back to default the utility was very happy.
Got it all done...thanks
