Alan, Have you gone back to the previous firmware to see if you still have the issues? There's no problem with dropping back from version 0.1.1.2 to version 0.1.1.1 to see if that changes anything. As to Gerald's response, that was my error; I got it mixed up with something else. In any case,

I didn't see a comment from Gerald, so he may have sent his message only to you and not to the list (I hate lists where the default is to reply to the sender rather than to the list). I reinstalled the FLEX-5000 driver, and now I get only the two double-dings (instead of four) after switching o

I am certain that this has happened only since I installed the new firmware that was released last weekend: Sometimes when I change frequency the sound will cut out and the display will freeze, then a second or two later I will hear a "ding" as though I had unplugged a device. Clicking the "Rem
