How to Start Fresh?

    I'm still on an earlier firmware that did not have the 1000 profile limit. I guess it is time to update. The backup feature on the KPA won't work and the unit won't accept new profiles. I have all profiles on my desktop but am not looking forward to culling the heard by 200%.


    Anyway, does anyone have step by step instructions on starting fresh - clearing memory, reloading new firmware and loading all factory profiles? Then I can load all the "best-of" my purchased and downloaded profiles.


    Note - While I understand newer firmware takes up more memory, it was great having all the profiles stored in the unit. Without an editor/librarian, culling the herd is going to be very time consuming.

    hi adinfinitum,


    i do not know whether you have to clear the memory. you can start fresh by the method described by marc here in another thread.
    with the "empty" rig backup you can load whatever you want into your KPA. i used 7-zip, marc and ingolf are using total commander afaik.

    Hi your best option is to hire a Kemper consultant ;)


    No pb just check to Wikpa to get thoses steps explained. 1st thing is : make backups


    http://www.wikpa.org/Emergency! to erase memory
    http://www.wikpa.org/Troubleshooting to flash with new firmware
    to restore factory rigs : use system menu , go to the page with 'restore factory/system rigs' or something like this.
    then it's time to restore your backup rigs


    you might have to get an intermediate firmware before 2.01 if you got a big gap.


    good luck
