Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade a Skywatcher Synscan handset I have.
I can connect to a PC with the appropriate cable and serial to usb connnector.
I hold down the "8"and "0" buttons and get the "Synscan Update ver 1.0" on the handset display.
I can select and run the upgrade..either 3.27 or 3.28.
I have to press the "select" key to reduce the data rate to 9.6kbps then it will go through the motions and complete the upgrade.
When it is finished it shows 100% complete but the screen on the handset still shows the "Synscan Update ver 1.0" msg and even after powering off and on that's all that shows on the handset display.
I have tried varying the speed of the comms port on the PC..no good.

The only other thing I've noticed is my other handset which is faulty and won't connect to a PC...(trust me on this it's NBG) has a Synscan Upgrade version of 1.3.

And just to confuse things more if I connect the handset that's locked on the "Synscan Update ver 1.0" msg and check the HC Version in the "Synscan Firmware Uploader Ver 3.0" program on the PC it shows everything there.
It just seems like it's locked in an error.
I hope someone can help before it magically flys out the window into the back yard.
Thanks,
Ken
