Hi, Got my F3K in the mail yesterday, and took a little time this afternoon to try it out.
It worked fine for quite awhile, I got VAC going and com0com, got transmit going into the dummy load and it all worked pretty good with a few easily solved issues along the way. But then I decided to install my second monitor so I could keep the radio controls up while working on dm780 and rearrange the desk a little. Upon rebooting, the F3K can't be found anymore. Opening the "FlexRadio" blue icon gives "No devices found" Tried calling support but they must be busy or out early. I've tried: - Checking the firewire cable at least 4 times. It's correctly inserted, the only difference is that before it was coiled up (the flex was right above the computer) and now it's stretched a little to 3 feet. - Checked that my firewire controller is ok. The controller shows up in windows device mgr with no conflicts. - Removing the FlexRadio drivers, disconnecting the F3K from the computer, installing the drivers, reconnecting, and powering up. Nothing. - I thought maybe my battery's 12.6v was not enough to get the device to initialize and talk. So I boosted it with a charger to 13.6v and this doesn't make any difference. Everything else on the computer is plugged in right where it was before I moved things. The only difference between A and B is a second monitor is now on the desktop. Is firewire really this flaky? Any ideas to try out? 73, Matt ai1p _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
