[TenTec] 2.041 updating problem...need help

[M. Todd Miskel]

Hi all, I have been trying for an hour and a half to get my OrionII to take the new program but the radio never shows the lines of code it's receiving, It just shows the Flash memory mode screen / press any key to exit. Meanwhile, The computer is showing that it's talking to the radio VERY SLOWLY...like 10 to 20 lines of code every 5 minutes. but the radio shows nothing. I am using a Rat Shack USB to Serial adaptor and have installed all pertinet firmware. I have 3 USB ports on my laptop with 2 already occupied with a mouse and audio setup, so I selected COM3 in the program. If I select any other COM the warning that communication with the radio has failed etc. Any suggestions of where i'm going wrong? 73, Todd - KT0DD
