Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
There is some parameter(s) configured in the database that was causing adverse results. It is hard to say exactly what that specific parameter(s) was without doing a diff on the two databases. I suspect that you may have had a comport conflict, like having one software package configured for CAT control and the other end of the virtual com port pair configured for the PTT port in PowerSDR. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Gary Franklin Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 11:28 PM To: Tim Ellison Gmail Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until Tim, I guess the next question maybe what caused the need to reset to factory defaults?

Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
The standard first step after such a major problem. Is Delete the database, and create a new one. That will 'probably' get you going. you will probably have to re-install VSPm first so you have some comports to put into the new database. It's been my experience that it's best to start with a new database. Install one program Check it out Then install the next. Good luck, we have all been dere done dat and have the gray hairs to prove it. On 6/20/11 8:41 PM, Gary Franklin wrote: I am running a Flex 5000 on Vista and everything was flawless until!

Re: [Flexradio] All was well Until
Your situation may be different from mine, but I had a similar thing happen to me once. I had to uninstall everything related to the powersdr software and reinstall which took care of the problem. You may just want to do a data base reset first. After that there are those on this list that know better about the deeper aspects and can help you. Just hollar. I doubt that the box is the problem.
