Hi Everyone,

I have a 2.34/1.89 firmware loading issue to report.

My K3 #371 has been functioning perfectly until this evening. It has the 
sub-receiver installed which has been working fine as well.

Tonight I decided to load 2.34 Beta and did so successfully.... but 
after a second attempt.

My first attempt resulted in no DSP being loaded in  DSP1 but it did 
load into DSP 2. I got the following error message 'E000202' on the Main 
display and 'ERR DSE' on the VFO B display.

After my successful second attempt load I then got 'ERR PL 1' on the VFO 
B display when changing bands. It disappeared after a second or two but 
reappeaed on each band change. Lots of background noise but no signals.

I attempted to recalibrate PL1. After the recal. it now displays ERR VCO 
E 00005 and then Er VC4   E00255.

I reverted back to 2.23 and now get 'ERR PL 2'. So I again re calibrated 
the VCO's main and sub and all appears to be ok after several 
recalibration attempts. But I am back to running 2.23. I'd like to try 2.34

What's happening here?

I am at a loss to figure it out.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I also e-mail K3 support but thought I would post here as it is a 
holiday weekend.
