Scott,
I have big trouble with my Orion. Background:
I am running a Mac G5 with OS X 10.4.2 (Tiger). I wanted to have a
Windows capablility, among other things to download your upgrades for
the Orion. To this end I have Virtual PC for Mac, vers. 7.02,
running Windows XP home. The communication is by Keyspan serial port
emulator. The Mac works just fine and I can run PSK31 from the Mac
to the Orion and it communicates as it should.
After installing the VPS, I also installed N4PY control program for
the Orion. I, finally, have it up and running as it should and it
communicates just fine with the Orion.
I have downloaded your latest upgrade and have tried to flash install
it to the Orion. I have been getting "error encountered.
Communication with the radio has failed."
Ok, I read an e-mail that said in the flash settings I should
uncheck the box about error checking. The next time that I tried t
o flash update the Orion (it was in the update mode), the program
froze on the Windows - and said that the "update program was not
responding"
PROBLEM:
I have had this happen with other programs trying to run on VPC and
the only way to remove them is stop the Windows program. I had to do
it with the flash update. I noticed that about 60 lines had
transferred before I had to shut everything down.
The Orion screen is blank. I tried turning off the Orion and
starting it up again. It is still blank. I then have tried Master
reset and nothing happens, the screen is blank. Orion will not load
and master reset will not occur. I have tried to flash update again,
with the box checked and get the same error message. I guess part of
the program was passed to the computer.
What, if anything can I do??? HELP!!!
