Since the software knows what type of radio it is talking to, it should be a simple matter to inhibit access to the form unless the radio is an SDR-1000. You should enter this as a feature request. 73, Ray, K9DUR -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz

One other thing that can cause this is a crappy Firewire host controller. Especially if it the one on the motherboard. If Neal's excellent suggestions do not remedy the problem and you are using the motherboard Firewire host controller, try using one that connects to the PCI/PCI-E bus.
