[Elecraft] MCU LD message

[Dick Dievendorff]

I get this all the time when I test the K3 Utility's ability to load a K3 in
this state.

Be very sure of the cable connection and COM port selection. Use the Windows
Device Manager to verify the COM port if necessary. 

The K3 Utility should find the radio when you "test communications" from the
ports tab. The expected speed is 38,400 and it should give you the "warning"
dialog that says that the K3 Utility is waiting for MCU firmware.

If you can't get that far, you can't load firmware. It could be cable, PC,
COM port number, or the K3 KIO3.

If you can't get past this, contact k3support at elecraft.com

Dick, K6KR

I've got my K3 S/N 3278 hung up.
Sparing the details of the story, I was testing the K3 Util software when it
happened.
I probably tried to load the firmware and shouldn't have.
I've followed all the reset instructions in the help files and manual.
Including removing power etc etc.
Nothing is working.

Anybody else ever get this and how do I get out of it?

Thanks
de K2GN/Larry
