6600 (non M, with latest software) boot failure Sunday 14th Oct 2018....3 red flashes of doom. Tried a hard reset to no avail.. Not a good start after a few days of use. Will contact my GB supplier, Waters & Stanton Monday morning.

    Try starting the radio with network cable disconnected.  Try several times.  If you can get it to boot then try to configure a static IP address for the radio.  There is a documented issue with the radio having issues booting when unable to obtain an IP address.

    Do you have a local area network switch port that you can plug the radio into? This would be something like a port on your internet router that your shack pc is also plugged into. Just trying to see if it will boot outside of link local.

    Thanks Joe....No, The router is downstairs and the upstairs shack pc is connected via wi-fi. The Flex is now boxed up and has to go the German repair centre for a software rebuild The dealer I bought it from (Waters & Stanton) is organising this. It could take some time I suspect.

    Neil, It's going to Germany for a software rebuilt so I don't expect it back in a hurry.

    If while working with the Help Desk Flex determins that the SD card is corrupt, they will send you a new one pronto  that you can replace with.
