Ian, This doesn’t occur often. Here are things to check: 1. What IP address is the amp picking up from your DHCP server?. Look at the amp front panel. What is the IP address of your computer and radio? 2. Are you sure the amp and computer running the PGXL utility are on the same LAN subnet? 3. If 1 or 2 don’t yield information then I suggest a reset of the amp. A. Power off the amp. Press and hold the front panel standby button on the amp while powering it on using the switch on the rear of the power supply. You’ll need to calibrate the amp screen using a small pointed object to hit the + marks. B. That will reset the amp and cause it to clear any stored fixed IP address and revert to using DHCP. C. Once you can see the amp in the PGXL utility then be certain to enter YOUR radio serial number in the app. Let me know your result and I’ll try to help more. 73, Mack W4AX Alpha Team

Mack I tried all you suggested no Luck.

Nothing is showing up in the Utility all Flex products are on my LAN verified this all have a different IP Address.

Here is what I see on the Utility.

The IP address looks good on the PGXL.   Provided your PC is on the same subnet, I suspect a Windows firewall issue. 

When the PGXL Windows Utility is installed, it adds two entries to the private profile (by default), allowing inbound UDP and TCP traffic to the utility.  Those ports are required for the utility to see and communicate with the PGXL on your network.

When Windows updates it can change the "network status" (domain, private or public) on your PC,  activating a different firewall profile.   Most of the time simply changing the status back to private cures this problem.

If your PC is on a different subnet, that will need to be corrected. 

Best,
Dan

I just went through the same issue - it turned out that I was using the radio serial # that showed up on the utility. It was not correct, as Sergey mentioned that was the serial # of the radio the amp had been tested with at the factory.  Once I entered the serial # of my amp it worked fine, both in the utility and in tracking the 6700.

Dan That was it made the Network Public causing the issue.

I can now see the AMP and have added my Radio serial number thanks going to give her a try.
