Power Genius Panel Not Responding

in SmartSDR for Windows

I've had my PGXL up and running for a week now. The Power Genius XL panel in SmartSDR that shows power out, swr & temp was working fine until this morning. Now when I have the amp in operate mode, the display does not show any power output (the bars going across), etc. as it did yesterday, but the PGXL utility does.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

    I would power cycle PGXL and try again. If it still behaves that way, I would recommend to open a Ticket with Flex.

    I have sometimes weird issues and usually power cycle take care of it.

    At my station that has never worked much at all on ssb If I push tune yes but it seems the programming isn’t fast enough to catch it. Like wise even on the front panel of the PGXL compared to my LP-700 meter. Most of the time on ssb the amp meter itself will be several hundred watts low. Only when pushing tune and power cycling doesn’t change a thing at my station.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Oddly, before I had the chance to power cycle the PGXL, I needed to power cycle my 6600. For some reason that solved the problem. I never touched the PGXL.

    Anyone know why?

    Thanks
