[Elecraft] Firmware Update DSP 1 Problem

[Iain MacDonnell - K6IAM]

Terry,

That is NOT the latest firmware - you want MCU 2.46 / DSP 1.92. I don't
know if that will solve your problem or not, but there release notes
include:

"MCU 2.37 / DSP 1.90, 9-2-2008

* FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCESS IMPROVEMENT: When upgrading firmware,
   MCU and DSP code versions may temporarily become incompatible,
   resulting in error messages during loads. These spurious errors are
   now suppressed, resulting in a cleaner upgrade process, especially
   when upgrading from much older revisions."

Good luck!
