[Elecraft] help - firmware hangup

[Robert G. Strickland]

Bob...

On page 32, KE7X offers that key combination for "initializing 
parameters to the default setting." I'm not sure if that applied to my 
situation, but I was trying everything. I used that combination to get 
the radio to communicate with the Elecraft utility. I had done some 
other things, also, like removing a microHAM interface, installing a 
usb-serial adapter and running a straight cable. Now, which of these - 
including key push/hold - re-established computer-radio comm I can't say 
for sure. But, problem is now solved.

Regarding the manual, it's useful. There's a lot of added detail and 
discussion of various K3 topics which makes for interesting reading and, 
perhaps, better utilization of the radio's capability. YMMV. Have a good 
weekend.
