2nd meter inop

Post by KR5OG »

In the past few days my 2nd meter has become inop. regardless of settings.
I have restarted the Flex 5000a and the computer with no change.
Could this be caused by the latest update, I am running v2.8.0.161

Looking for ideas.

Thanks
Paul

Running V2.8.0.161 here as well and the 2nd meter works fine.

Only problem I've had since .161 is that occasionally, the "Check for Updates" doesn't work. Also, for some reason, there is always an open window with the Flex app down in the tray that says "Spotter Settings", but I can't open it. Radio works perfectly though.

Thanks N0DFF, at lease now I know it isn't an update problem.
Everything else works beautifully.

Good luck Paul. I'd sure miss that 2nd meter here. Maybe Darrin has an idea to help. 73

Yes, sent him an email, hoping he has an answer in a few days.
I sure hope it is not something in the radio let the smoke out, but luckily I live in the small town where the Legacy repair center is and I know Toby at the repair shop.

Good news and bad news.
It turns out this was not a software issue but a hardware problem. Have to replace the 2nd RX board. My radio goes to the shop Saturday.
Sure will be nice to have it back and working properly.
