the AS, after the welcome message (that confirms the 43Eg version) beeps and displays "Press

Press" and every key I press writes "Bad key" on the second row of the display.

zapzap Reload 4.3Eg. If using a USB-serial adapter, not all work reliably with the

AutoStar. I recommend Keyspan models. If you used Meade's AutoStar Update Application

(Windows only), try using StarPatch (from www.stargps.ca). It works better with many USB

adapters.

mweasner thanks, are you saying I can reload the 43Eg despite the AS is not responsive?

zapzap Yes. You may need to put the AutoStar into SAFE LOAD mode if updating

normally does not work. Hold down the ENTER and SCROLLDOWN arrow keys while turning

on the telescope. You will see something like FLASH LOAD READY on the screen.

mweasner I have safe loaded my AS497, turned off and repowered the telescope and all

seemed performing well.

So I have installed StarPatch, that has upgraded successfully, but to the 43Gf version (not 43Eg)

and I have the same problem with the "Press press" error. The worst thing that happens now is

that the Safe Load shows the Flash Load Ready message, but the AS does not reset and continues

to display the "Press press" error. I have a Prolific USB to Serial interface: the same I use with my

LX200GPS scope.

zapzap Andrew Johansen discussed the "press press" issue on this page on the ETX

Site: http://www.weasner.com/etx/archive/nov11/autostar.html. There are some further "press

press" discussions that you can find by doing a search on the ETX Site for "press press".
