[TenTec] Fw: [Ten-Tec-Omni-VII] Re: Omni VII & HRD Connection Fails

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

>From posts and private e-mails, I see that others are having some issues with HRD as well.  Here's my findings and work and results.  Operating system is Windows XP with SP3 running on a AMD1400 processor.  Not a speedster by any measurement today.

Using the Window SEARCH application, it found and I deleted all of the related HRD and Ham Radio Deluxe files, directories and etc.  Even emptied the TRASH just to be sure.  Then did a RESTART of the computer.   Went to the HRD website and started with a new & fresh download of the current release.   Once completed and installed, everything seems to work.

Somewhere there was either a corrupt file(s) or missing file(s).   Darn if I could find nor figure out what and where.  Finally the approach, just flush the entire application and start over.   Then implemented the configuration for the Omni VII and then the Eagle and then 712 USB Soundcard interface.  That works!   FYI - I do use a true RS-232 communications cable between the radio and the computer.  Radio is operated in the normal or RADIO mode.

Of course any other data, logs and such were dumped in the process,  but hey, that is no big deal.  

Thanks to all for the suggestions.  Some days I just need a mental adjustment.
