Tonight, once again, the radio wasn't recognized after powering it up. However, this time I went into the device manager and simply did a disable of the 1394 host controller and then re-enabled it (right click options on host controller in device tree). Very quick and instantly the radio was re

Bill, I have seen where this would not work, windows OS was ignoring all commands to that particular port, now if I moved to a different port or card, the driver would be reapplied to the new port and all was happy, but the only way to get the original port back was to either reboot or un
