[Elecraft] K3 Load fails

[Dick Dievendorff]

What files are in your firmware folder that contains MCU revision 3.19?  

It should have hfpf0101.hex as well as hmcu0319.hex, hdsp0217.hex,
haux0217.hex, dtbl0009.hex and tboot7.hex.  The fact that your error message
says it's trying to load hfpf0100 (.hex) suggests that you've got
hmcu0319.hex and hfpf0100.hex but not hfpf0101.hex in the firmware folder
you're loading from.  You need the most recent hfpf0101.hex in the same
firmware folder that you are loading MCU version 3.19 from.

This is what I mean by "mixing".  The beta firmware zip firmware file
contains a complete set of firmware files. All those files need to be in the
firmware folder you're loading from.

I don't think I am mixing anything. 

I have a folder for 3.14 and one for the new Beta 3.19. When I get ready to
do 
a load, I see what is now installed in my K3 before I "Send All Firmware to 
K3". 

After trying to load 3.19 it says Installed in the K3: MCU = 03.19, FPF =
N/A, 
DSP1 = 02.16, DSP2 = 0219, DVR = 01.03. Available: MCU = 03.19, FPF = 01.01,

DSP1 = 02.17, DSP2 = 02.17.

This seems to be what would be expected if the load failed and my I
previously 
had a good 3.14 firmware load.

When I try to reload from my 3.14 folder, I end with MCU = 03.14  and FPF = 
N/A. This seems what I would expect if the MCU load works and the FPF load 
aborts.
