[Elecraft] help - firmware hangup

[Robert G. Strickland]

I have regained comm with the K3 and load 4.51 successfully.

Going through everything, again, I tried the PWR on/SHIFT LO on p 32 of 
the KE7X manual. This time it worked. That enabled comm between computer 
and radio, etc. So, I think this is working. Thanks again to everyone 
for responding. Aside from specific suggestions - all appreciated - just 
having the Elecraft community out there was reassuring which enabled me 
to keep plugging along. That's as good as any specific suggestion. 
Thanks much to all.
