Many thanks both of you for your help.
I uninstalled 3.1 from my laptop and from my PC and reinstalled. It could not find my Pickit3 on either machines.
I installed MP-Lab on my Apple iMac and on my Laptop. When I plugged in my Pickit3 a message came up like "May be insufficient pier for programmer. Try powering it externally" . . . Which I did but still get the same message each time I plug it in.
The Pickit lights up but otherwise does nothing.? I'm thinking it's dead somewhere along the line.
I only connected it once before when I reprogrammed my 1st ATU-100 to do auto and qrp and it all worked straight away.?
Can the Pic be programmed with An Arduino Uno + the ide or perhaps with X-Loader???
Guess I'll have to purchase another Pickit3 !
