Matt,Make sure that you have kb955408 loaded, and also with the TI controller there is another that might apply, kb952825
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/952825Also check the Audio Sound devices in the Control panel of Windows, in the Audio tab, the flex driver should be in the pull downs, but not selected for the default , but the important one with the current driver is the last or bottom one, you should see the Flex Midi in the bottom drop down, if not , the MIDI driver did not load. At this point either uninstall the FireWire driver in the Device Window with the radio turned off, reboot and then turn the radio back on and see if all three of the drivers load, or remove the FW driver REBOOT , and then re-install the FireWire driver, and watch for the 3 drivers install. By the way, the current FireWire driver is 3.5.0.7171, which will work with 1.18.0 to the current 1.18.3 versions of PowerSDR. If you still have a problem, call Support at Flex 512-535 - 4713, I'll get you going..

Hi, I have it on a battery system big enough to run my Kenwood through an entire contest weekend, so I have confidence that there are plenty of amps & volts for it. The connections are solid too. The Flex does power up and I hear one relay click when it does. Removing the monitor from the computer didn't make any difference. Shoot. The cable is whatever they send with it, I assumed they wouldn't send me junk! It has two ferrites on it, which I assumed went on the computer side of the connection. Using an AM radio near the monitor and computer I find no unusually high amounts of hash. There's some of course, but it's undetectable on a radio a few inches away. So here's the rest: XP sp3 32bit FlexWire drivers 3.4.0 Radio firmware should be whatever they shipped it with, it's one day out of the box and now I can't possibly tell you.

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/_______________________________________________ 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/
