[Elecraft] P3 -- Span slow to update

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Hi Dan, 

When you upgraded the P3 firmware to 1.20, did you also upgrade the SVGA
firmware as well?  To ensure this happens, download and install the latest
version of the P3 Utility which can found  (the correct link) HERE 
<http://www.elecraft.com/software/P3/P3_Utility_Setup_1_12_10_4.exe>   .  

If you ever want to go back to an older release of firmware, chances are it
will still be on your computer, but you'll need to delete the most recent
version.  To do this, start the P3 utility and click on the Firmware tab.  
Note the path that is displayed under "Local Path For Firmware Files" ,
navigate to this path using My Computer.  Once you are in the directory you
will find files that look like "p3m####.hex and p3s####.hex .  The #### are
the version numbers without the decimal point.  You need to delete or move
any of the files with a revision that is newer than the version you want to
load.  For example, if you want to load version 1.09 you'll probably find
p3m0120.hex, p3m0111.hex etc.  Any file that has a #### greater than 0109
would need to be deleted or moved into a temporary folder.  Once this is
done, restart the P3 utility.  You should now be able to download 1.09.  
Note that the P3 MCU firmware did not support the SVGA board until version
1.11 .  If you would like additional help, please feel free to call me at
Elecraft 831-763-4211 or email me at pauls at elecraft.....

73, 

Paul
