Re: [TenTec] O2_CW_SEND1_PROBLEM

[Lin Davis <linbdavis@earthlink.net>]

John,
No problem. The noise that occurs is so loud it hurts my ears when it happens 
(wearing headphones). I believe that there is a combination or combinations of 
settings that case the DSP to get a bad code load from the processor, which 
causes the DSP to hang - there is no recovery that I can find short of powering 
the rig off and on again, as you have found. Also note that the sub receiver 
audio is likewise effected. The rest of the radio appears to function normally 
in my case. Next time it happens, I'll make more detailed notes and post it here 
and to ditsnbits.
Also, once it occurs, I can repeatedly make it happen by merely cycling through 
the BinRx choices. If it doesn't occur on the first time through the choices, it 
does so on the second or sometimes on the third. Weird.
73,
Lin
