seems the radio works, but not with someone else's software, so that means it's a problem with
Ten-Tec's software????
Call  N4PY seems more appropriate

I think I've found a problem with 2.063Xg.  Here's the scenario.

    1) I have my 565 under the control of the N4PY software.
2) I go to the RX menu and toggle the AGC System Type (it doesn't seem to matter which way I go).
    3) Back out of the menus

After doing this exercise I lose all serial control of the Orion. In addition the remote pod doesn't work. The work-around is to turn off the software and reboot the Orion.

IF I am not using the serial port with an external program and toggle the AGC the remote pod works BUT when I try to start some external software the serial port is dead. The same work-around solves the problem.

Before I report this to T-T I'd be curious if others are experiencing this?

Thanks.


73,

Rick
