It is hard to know what your install conditions are. Pleas make sure you have no anti viris or any computer protection on at the time of install. Many of them will stop parts of the install to not work.0

It could be either software, or hardware. A Helpdesk Ticket, or phone call might be necessary. I've been there done that, both right and wrong, many times over the years I've owned my 5000a.
But I've never seen that breakage, but here's a link that seems to be what your asking about.

HI doing some reading and found the same fault but the fault was with a new rfio card install and it says to use the HRFIO update software , Also has a warning attached not to use if you do not have a HRFIO 34..This one is fitted with the 34-c , would this update it or do more harm ?. any info would be great .. thanks.0

Have you Opened the radio to check if the ribbon cable is attached to the RFIO?0

Hi Greta yes tested all connections, Looks like a hardware fault, and no service centre in UK.0

My 5000a came with the 34C HRFIO board installed, so it never needed any upgrading. But earlier versions could be upgraded, I seem to remember that all 5000A's sent in for any sort of repair had the upgrade to 34C version done before they left the repair dept.
My guess is your helpdesk ticket will resolve the problem. Let them decide what to do.

Does the RFIO show up under the set up menu?0
-
Yes in 0,s and red rfio 000 000 (0a)0

My guess "again", then it's not reading the HRFIO board correctly.
I know! No help what so ever. Hopefully, they will begin working on the trouble ticket soon.

Yes i have talked with flex , but causes and cures may help some of us, I am in UK to post to Germany for repair will cost around £200 in postage alone , So would be good to have some info on fault and costs of repairs etc to see if it is worth repairing..0

Right now you might appreciate any and all info, related to the HRFIO assembies, I just stumbled back on to this bit, maybe you've already seen it, maybe not.

The Flexradio Knowledge Base articles were considered to be official documentation at the time the Legacy 1000, 1500, 3000, and 5000 models, were current. Exploring the knowledge base content, won't hurt, might help.

Hello, my problem is that the HRFIO board is no longer recognized. The signal is no longer displayed and can be heard. Transmitting still works on all bands. How can I register the HRFIO board again? 73 DH8KN0
