[TowerTalk] Rigexpert AA-54 firmware update disaster

[Tim Duffy]

Hello Ray

You should be able to upgrade the firmware with no trouble. Something went
wrong during the process of upgrading with WA8JXM and that caused the unit
to fail. I am not sure what happened.

I have an AA-54 analyzer and would like to upgraded the firmware. Is there
any reason I cannot do it myself?

I realize that Ken had problems but is this typical?
