strange K3 behaviour post firmware upgrade

Simon Lewis-7
 
All,
 
for the record - just incase some one else experiences this:  Maybe I did
something wrong ive no idea but I thought I followed the path and did
nothing out of the ordinary.....!
 
I just did the latest firmware upgrade.
 
NR works fine and sounds great
 
Going to TX nothing out and I get ERR TXG
 
recal synth and tried to recal power as I had the setting at 0 previous as I
had my tvtr connected directly to the antenna skt ANT1
 
nothing on any bands
 
checking the filter setting etc all had been reset to OFF and TX FL was set
to FL1
 
 
filters are
 
FL1 empty
FL2 empty
FL3 2.7 5p
FL4 500 5p
FL5 250 8p
 
reset then to correct settings and inc FL TX to FL3
 
still no ouput and ERR TXG
 
decided to reload firmware - cal synt and then pwr - nothing still ERR TXG
 
finally decided to reset all parameters and reinstalled MCU/DSP firmware
 
recal synth and pwr - now had more issues..... I could set the filter
settings but exiting the menu would NOT save them - if I went back in the
settings had been changed!
 
finally after many attempts it managed to save the settings (ie tapping menu
to exit)
 
bizzare!
 
ERR TXG gone and recal all bands correctly!!!!
 
v strange
 
ideas??
 
rgds

Re: strange K3 behaviour post firmware upgrade

I performed the upgrade V1.45 and have noticed nothing unusual. Check the
CONFIG to make sure all your options are still ON, just in case something got
bumped.  My filters are set up starting with FL1, FL2, FL3 - nothing skipped.
Nothing in the FL4 or FL5 slots (yet)

I always make it a practise to shut down and re-boot the system after making
firmware upgrade or Config changes that go beyond "on-the-fly" changes like
switch the main spkr off.
