[Elecraft] MCU LD and K3 Utility

[Peter Chamalian]

Dick, the utility just hangs.  Not Responsive and does not let me do
anything -- change tabs, etc.  It needs a time out to recover in such cases.
I can make it crash and send you the resulting error from Windows if that
will be of help.

Do I just delete that entry?

Pete, W1RM

If you can, would you describe "blew up" better for me (a private e-mail
would be fine).  I'd like to determine what happened and fix it, if I can.

The K3 Utility retains its information, as Vic described, in the Windows
Registry.  Start Regedit from the Windows start menu "run" box, and then
navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Elecraft\K3 Utility.  You
may delete the entire key and all the named values, as the K3 Utility
creates this key with default values on each startup if it's not already
there.  The COM port name is part of that information.

Things are really balled up.  I tried to upload the latest firmware but as I
was checking to see which serial port was connected to the computer, the K3
Utility blew up and in spite of my best efforts to uninstall and reinstall,
when I launch it, it tried to connect to the K3 on a port that doesn't exist
and just hangs and crashes.  I've rebooted, looked for a .ini file that
might be referenced for that bogus port, but I can't find it.

 

This is on a windows machine running XP with all the latest updates.

 

Of course, the K3 is hung up in MCU LD mode and since I can't talk to it,
just sits there.  I've powered down for an hour or more and tried but to no
avail.

 

I am hoping to be active in IARU so this is the last thing I need right now.

 

HELP Please!

 

Pete, W1RM
