Computer I am using has hardware RS232 ports, two of them, and I have tried
either one with the same results. I am using the latest K3 Utility
1.16.6.25.
My K3's serial number is 01341.
Everything seems to load fine but fails the DSP1.

I have tried reloading and re-downloading, rebooting, both computer and K3.

I also looked into downgrading to an older firmware, but I can not find an
older archive that goes back far enough to my working configuration, 2.19.

I did try what was archived and got the same results. (ftp directory)

Please help. I also searched the forums with no avail. most were USB
adapter problems.

This has rendered my K3 useless.
