[SMCARA] FTdx-3000 Question

[Bill Jones]

Need some help on the 3000. Trying to upgrade the Main and DSP firmware.
Now I am getting a flashing TX Lite on VFO-A. It appears to have started on
the DSP portion. So nothing functions as far as no receive audio, Isee
meter movement and no TX. After Step 5 of the DSP it says to Hold the Power
Key to Turn On the transceiver power. However mine turns off. I have all
the correct indications prior to this. Tried master reset. But no joy
there. Any ideas?
