[TenTec] Firmware download site

[art davis]

Curses, foiled again!

I am now able to download the file (v. 2.064) from the wiki site (thanks again) and then use the update utility to load it to the radio. After loading all the lines of code, the installer utility declares that the file was successfully installed and the radio displays "SYSTEM LOADING" as it should. Then it asks me about resetting filters and clearing memories. But no matter how I answer either question it momentarily displays "SYSTEM LOADING" again and then asks the questions again. It repeats all this cycle and never gets to the operational mode where it displays 14.250.

I was able to install this version back when it first was released, but had the same problem.  I remember I had to repeat several installs before it magically worked for some reason. So far, I haven't been so lucky this time.

In comparison, both of the previous two versions (2.062 and 2.063) load correctly with no issues. 

I read a couple of posts where it was suggested that the memory battery might be low which could affect the bootup. My snaphat memory battery reads 3.1 V which indicates to me that it was probably replaced when the factory performed the v. 2 upgrade.

Lastly, when I do a "verify program", the update utility indicates that the load is correct and successfully installed.

Any ideas about why one version would install and one not?
