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. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Clay W7CE Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 12:11 AM To: 'Reflector' Subject: [Flexradio] Flex-3000 FireWire driver doesn't see it. 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?
