[Elecraft] Firmware uploads

I tried to address this with the K3 Utility Help text for the Firmware page:

DSP2

The sub receiver's Digital Signal Processor, present only if the KRX3 Second
Receiver Option is installed and enabled through the K3 CONFIG menu.

Installed in K3

Indicates the firmware versions installed in the K3 for each of these
processors. N/A indicates that the hardware option is not installed or has
not been enabled through the K3 CONFIG menu.

In this case, the KRX3 second receiver option has not been enabled in your
K3.  The related firmware file is "available" in that it's in the firmware
folder on your PC.  But your K3 has no second receiver to receive the file.

The "Send all new firmware to K3" button is disabled because MCU and DSP1
have the "available" version already installed, and there are no processors
in the K3 that have back-level firmware (comparing what's installed versus
what's available in the PC's firmware folder).

When your KRX3 is installed and enabled (via a CONFIG menu option), the K3
Utility will load the corresponding DSP file.  I have the DSP board part of
the KRX3 installed in my K3 for testing (I don't have the rest of the 2nd
receiver) and the K3 Utility is able to load that DSP2.  The firmware
authors that have the rest of the 2nd receiver have loaded their DSP2 many,
many times.

Hello all,

 

After having completed the assembly process of the K3, it was time to check
for updates with the utility software.

All seems to work, but.

 

I saw an update op DSP2 (1.55). In my K3 the status was N/A. An update I
would say. But the button send to K3 wasn't available.

Was this on purpose?

 

Thanks, Evert PA2KW

 

PS:

Downloaded the newest utility program and Prolific driver for Elecraft KUSB.
