Tim, Yes it is an i7 AND I have gone through the recommended sleep
deprivation therapy advised by the home team at flex. I also just moments
ago plugged in the new firewire cable Dudley had mailed out to me and
transferred the snap-open/closed ferrites to the new one at the computer end
as instructed.
Radio is working so all I can do now is observe the MTBF with the new cable.
As instructed by Dudley I have installed the "legacy" driver. I think that
until or unless there is further malfunction we are in a wait and see
monitoring mode.
If there is anything else regarding i7 besides the sleep issue please tell
me what to do.
Thanks for jumping in, you guys are as good as it gets in customer service
without being a close blood relative.
Not a failing of Flex but I am less than happy with the wishy washy seating
of the firewire connector at the radio and the computer end. I wish it had a
thumbscrew or wire bail or something to secure it better to the computer and
the radio. It needs a more positive retention system. Maybe I should get
some of those peel-off adhesive pads that accept snap ties and put one on
either side of the IEEE 1394 sockets and use a plastic wire tie or little
bread wrapper twisty to hold the connector a bit more positively. Perhaps I
obsess too much. Of late I have had a couple folks compare me to a
character on the TV series "The Big Bang Theory." The shoe may not be
exactly my size but it isn't that bad of a fit.
73,
Patrick AF5CK

In the manner of our late great prez RMN, "Let me make one thing perfectly
clear!" This post is NOT a vote of no confidence for Dudley who is a Flex
Wizard. I'm just querying the brain trust just in case someone may have
useful input. This august group has a lot of grey matter in fine working
order and may think of something overlooked.
I have an F5K which has been working really swell for months with no
problems encountered loading new S/W releases. I'm not doing anything
fancy, just SSB using only one of the RCVRs. I upgraded to the latest S/W
and then... Everything works fine again except PSDR crashes at random but
frequent intervals. Sometimes throwing an error window about an external
device raising an exception and sometimes not. Sometimes cycling the
on/off on-screen switch restores operation till another crash and
sometimes that just causes the exception error to display. Rebooting the
computer and or just restarting PSDR seems to have the same result making
no difference.
By telephone Dudley professionally guided me through installing the
"legacy" 1394 driver and confirmed that I have a good TI chipset. It is
capable of bidirectional streaming at the 800 data rate whereas the F5K is
now streaming both ways full time at 400 data rate vice the previous S/W
release using interrupt driven service for the 1394 data. Dudley told me
this new demand on the firewire interface is even more demanding of a
"good" cable and the driver. So, Dudley is having a new cable mailed to
me to arrive real soon now.
Yesterday the MTBF for crashing was on the order of a couple hours whereas
before Dudley's intervention it was on the order of a couple minutes.
This afternoon things took a turn for the worse. Invoking PSDR and
clicking on [Start] in Panafall display mode gives a uniform Pink
waterfall that moves down ward at the normal rate filling the entire space
with a nice restful pink. There is no audio. Repetitively clicking the
[Start/Stop] on-screen button doesn't elicit different behavior.
Suggestions?

What is the keystroke combo to get the temperature pop-up displayed in
PSDR? My mind has gone blank.
