This is not a firmware issue. Old Chinese USB to RS232 adapters, like Prolific, may fail on new PC because they do not flush the buffer correctly. Today I'll recompile the update utility exe file. I'll be back soon.

Hi,

I am having the same issue.  I'm attempting to upgrade firmware on 2 units today.

My serial cable will control the unit via Magic RDS3 no problem.  But if I try and run the firmware update, I see this...
"Update failed at 300 bytes - connection lost. Try again."

I have tried the suggestion of powering it up at different times during the update process, no luck.

See my attached screenshot.

Is there a prior firmware I can try?  Such as a version 1.5?

Hello, If I'm using an outdoor antenna at a distance of 15 or 18 meters, which cable do you suggest I use?

And what type of antenna or features should it have?

Thank you.

Auroval  :)

PIRA75 FM Analyzer / Re: Firmware upgrade error

The problem is not caused by the device itself. Maybe ten years ago we had similar issue with some low cost Chinese USB to serial adapter.

PIRA75 FM Analyzer / Firmware upgrade error
« Last post by niwreg on May 02, 2025, 08:38:34 am »
Hi,

I tried to upgrade an i think p75 (comport version) to the latest version, however i get an error: update failed at 9800 bytes - CRC error try again, tried it again and then it goes in 13400 bytes

i tried a few times with switching the unit off, start the upgrade application and let it run etc. but it seems not to work, it also doesnt seem to boot, display stays blank.

Any help? Maybe some older firmware versions i can try?

edit: tried a few more times, display is now displaying a bit of garabe but readable string here and there. and update failed at 38000 bytes


Fixed it by running the updater a lot of times and eventually it came through 100%
