[Elecraft] Dead K3 Hi Jacked thread...

[Ken K3IU]

Good afternoon, Tom:

You haven't said, but are you using a "regular" 9 pin serial cable or a 
USB-to-serial connection?
If you have the capability, use a "regular" serial cable between the 
computer and the K3.

If you have not done so, I suggest that you re-download from the 
internet both the K3 Utility program and the firmware elements. After 
you download the firmware, check on your computer to see that you have 
successfully downloaded all the elements. Check the help files in the K3 
Utility program for guidance in troubleshooting.

When ready to upload the new firmware to the K3, get out of Advanced 
Mode (View menu) and click on the "Send All Firmware to K3" button.

If you have tried all of these things and still have no luck, then I 
suggest you send your problem to K3support at elecraft.com.

73,
Ken K3IU
