Unfortunately the above description seems to fall into the "the
tachyon modulation must be wrongly polarised" category described at [1].
Could you please describe the symptoms briefly, for a human to read,
by saying (1) what you did, (2) what you expected to happen, and
(3) what happened instead?

Afterwards, it should be possible to try to figure out the cause.

Sorry for the trouble, and hope that helps.

Regards,
Jonathan
