Matt,Lots of things can go wrong, but before anyone can help, Inquiring Minds Need to Know..
Exactly what versions of the What OS? Service Pack? FireWire Driver? Firmware on the radio? PowerSDR? What kind of FireWire card?First check the FireWire driver (the blue icon on your desktop) see if basic communications is happening with the radio. If not, reboot the computer and power down the radio and back up. What might have happened when you started the new screen, the video memory stepped on the FireWire driver in memory, just a guess.
Let us know, we try to answer. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ kd0...@gmail.com wrote:
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/
