Leon,
Actually you should have loaded the FireWire first and then update the
firmware on the radio. But just so happens that the 5254 version will
load the updated firmware, this time.. Some times when you get the
firmware of the radio updated, it might not complete the full reset, so
you might not have a fully functional radio.
In your case, maybe the FireWire driver needed the reboot, but you are
ok, just make sure to give the computer plenty of time to get the
FireWire card software loaded when booting up, seems that Windows likes
to load the FW last, even after the network card.
Have fun.

Having problems with new versions of the 1.18.3 PSDR and the new firmware
and firewire.
Flex 5000A, no 2nd receiver.
I updated the firmware, then the firewire driver, then installed 1.18.3.
Ran the calibration (ctrl+shift+P) as was suggested in an earlier post.
Everything is working fine, receiving signals, transmitting, the "whole nine
Yards". So, you ask, what's the problem?
I stopped PSDR, turn off the rig, go do other things come back in turn the
Rig on, start PSDR 1.18.3 and nada, nothing on the panadapter. No noise,
Nothing until I reboot the computer and then turn on the rig and PSDR and
Everything works just like it is supposed to do. Have I messed things up or
Should I revert back to the previous versions, that is if one can do that,
Or should I send it back to flex?
Never had this problem until I updated everything!
Leon, N5PU
