It was the same Firewire cable that I plugged into both rigs. I've advised
the owner to return the radio for repair. Thanks for the info.

Assuming you were using the same Firewire cable that was connected to the
FLEX-5000 when you were doing the test with the FLEX-3000 and you were using
the Firewire control panel to validate connectivity, then it looks like
there may be a problem with the Firewire interface in the FLEX-3000.
You do not need to reboot the PC. Just connecting up the other radio and
powering it up will determine if it is communicating or not.

A friend recently purchased a used 3000 from a mutual friend. When he first
powered the radio up, everything worked fine. When he tried to start it
later, nothing. He un-installed everything and tried again but his Firewire
driver didn't see the radio. I brought the 3000 home with me and connected
it to my laptop (last used with my 5000). The radio appeared to power up
normally but the driver (3.4.0.7171) didn't find it. At a last resort, I
unplugged my 5000 from the desktop machine, and plugged in the 3000. The
Firewire driver (3.5.2.8028 and V2.0.0 Beta) on that machine doesn't see it
either. I moved the Firewire cable back to my 5000 and it works fine, so I'm
sure there isn't a cable problem.
At this point, do I assume that the 3000 should be returned for repair, or
is there some other step that I may have missed? When changing radios, do I
need to reboot the PC?
Thanks,
Clay W7CE
