[Elecraft] Fwd: K3 Failed DSP Firmware Download

[GW0ETF]

In the >3 years of running my K3 I can only remember once having to do a
forced reload and it was completely straightforward.....don't understand the
stress this seems to generate. 

Since moving to a netbook recently I've been rebooting my desktop every time
I wanted to do a firmware upload using a hardware serial port; but I do
remember in the past uploading through my Microham CW Keyer via Router with
minimal fuss (though can't remember the reason for the previous forced
upload...!). So when I needed to upgrade from v4.22 a couple of days ago I
thought I'd try the Router again and it went without a hitch and saved all
the booting up and swapping cables in the spider infested mess at the back
of my underdesk PC.

Ofcourse I went into the set up on Router and set to 'No Radio' and 'Disable
Router Queries'. You can if you wish store these settings under separate
profiles for a single click setup. If it doesn't work and you end up with a
'brick' I can always switch on my desktop PC and do a forced upload via
rs232 - what's the panic?
