k3 ERR DSE

John McBee-2
I was getting this error from the kxr3 menu when changing from ATU port
to BNC port I have gotten this error a few times since I have installed
the kxr3.  But all usually works.  The book said to try to reload the
dsp 1 firmware and dsp2 firmware, so I opened up the k3 utility and
tried to reload all firmware.  The k3 errored out on loading firmware
and display said MCU LD and lost com port communications.   I could not
turn off k3 by pwr button so turned off pwr supply, now can't get the
rig to reset buy holding the shift-lo button in while pwr up k3.  So
can't load new firmware yet.  Any suggestions..  I will keep looking in
manual for a reset option.

Thanks
John

I have read the MCU load error under K3 Firmware Self-Test and what to
do in an error of loading MCU but I have lost communications with the k3
with my serial to usb cable that I normally use and have tried a serial
to serial cable to another computer that still has a serial port- DB9
connections, I have also changed the baud rate to 38400 which it was
before it crashed.  No luck with any of these actions.  Any help would
be great.

John
