Re: XG3: unable to do Firware Upload

Dick Dievendorff
This sounds like a marginal USB to serial adapter power situation.  Are you
using a laptop? Does it have AC power?  Are there other USB hubs available
on the computer?

thanks info/help Dick. Quick Response!

Mainframe.
"seems" it was the 9v battery. I plugged into a 12v wall-charger, then
got the d/l to work.

however, I also had a confusing time with the pop-up which comes up and
says xg3 ready for firmware ... on COM6

but I have this on COM9 .. so even though I selected COM9, maybe because
I didn't close-port and go to COM9 .. rather than go straight to COM9
... dunno .. anyway, the Firmware uploaded.

thanks again

Re: XG3: unable to do Firware Upload

Dick Dievendorff
Sounds like a couple of problems, then.  

Glad you're going again!

If COM6 is a device that echoes whatever is sent to it, it looks a lot like
Elecraft devices when they're in their firmware boot loader.

Re: XG3: unable to do Firware Upload -works great

In reply to this post by Bob KD7YZ
 BTW, that little XG3 has really been handy.
In this recent case, I have a nice LNA the splitter for the 2 meter
array. The other day I did a <My Bad>

I jut put the XG3 at the input of that, out there at the splitter, and
could see back here that I didn't wreck the low noise pre-amp.

Really cool . XG3's so compact that I mounted the connector right to the
LNA N-connector .

Yup, I like tools that are easy to use and that solve problem Quickly.

Hat's off to René for suggesting its use here with the weak signal stuff
I fiddle around with.
