    Will try in the AM. Current banned from basement (shack location) as son sleeping in his man cave for early AM work.

    If you can chance going down to the radio before bed time unplug the DC power and leave it unplugged overnight, this has helped a few people I have talked to and the radio booted up the next morning. 
    If this doesn't work then be sure to do a support ticket

    I have created a support ticket for this.  Due to Monday being a holiday, it might take them a few days to respond.

    Here we go again.... 3 red blinks of the power button.

    And, when this happened the last time, Flex sent me a new SD card. It worked for a couple of months, then...dive bombing.

    Running SSDR Ver. 3.1.12 on 6600M

    Tried the factory reset routine. Unplugged power source overnight. Reconnected power source, then left it alone for about 3 hours, returned to radio and pressed power button until white light appeared. But, when it gets to the "Please wait...." portion, the trusty power button starts blinking red 3 times, in repeated succession.

    C'est la vie, I suppose.
