[Elecraft] K3 Forcing a Firmware Download

[Dick Dievendorff]

Chris: Please check K3 Utility Help on "Troubleshooting - MCU Load".  It has
a step by step procedure to recover from this situation.

Start the K3 Utility.
Help Menu
K3 Utility Help
In the "Contents" tab on the left side Click the + signs next to K3 Utility
Help and under that, Troubleshooting, and under that "MCU Load failure".

Go through those steps....

Page 45 of the K3 manual gives me 4 points to Forcing a Firmware Download.
I have tried this many times to no avail.
The screen stays MCU LD with back light off with the TX Led flashing.
No matter what I do nothing changes.
I believe the problem may be seeing the Com Port  or not seeing it as the
case may be.
At the moment the K3 is as good as scrap metal any help in bringing it back
to its former glory would be most appreciated.
