    Andy, the newest PowerSDR for the Flex5K is 2.7.2, not 2.3.5. What is your OS?

    Andy you need to down load software for you Flex  from this site

    A fellow has been updating the software on his own Flex stop updated this soft ware  when they came out with the 6000 series.

    This error indicates a failure for the PowerSDR software to properly communicate with the radio hardware via the Firewire connection.

    I have changed this post to a problem topic and converted this topic to a support HelpDesk ticket (http://helpdesk.flexradio.com) for expedited issue resolution.  If anyone else is experiencing an issue similar to this one, please submit a HelpDesk support ticket for issue resolution.

    I have also seen the first error screen capture 2 days ago when I reinstalled PowerSDR for my FLEX5000, I hit OK and everything finished installing and run fine with the radio so this is not a isolated error but may be a hardware error. 
    I have ran the FLEX5000 since 2008 on several different computers so I guess I may need to change the Ethernet card and / or cable out and hope it's not the Radio.
    This was after a full Reset and reinstall of the software.
