Problems With DVK Access Via Maestro.

K6TTD

I have a remote station running my 8600. Have loaded the latest software and firmware (SSDR 4.1.5), and rely on my Maestro (the latest "C" version) as my primary station control.

I have recorded a few DVK messages, and they are currently loaded in my 8600.

At times, I have been able to assign messages to specific function keys on my Maestro, using the Function Key menu - but it is very spotty. It will work perfectly for a session, but the assignment will disappear after I shut the radio down, and Im forced to re-assign when I boot up again.

At other times, I am unable to find any of my pre-recorded messages via the Function Key menu. The DVK message sub menu comes up blank. Shutdown and restart, even a full power cycle, are of no help.

I've double checked by logging into the rig via SmartSDR 4.1.5, and the messages are still in the DVK memory. I am able to play them via desktop command. I just cannot seem to reliably access them via Maestro.

What am I doing wrong here??

Just to say, I reported these problems with the Maestro function keys a while ago. Therefore I think that you are not doing anything wrong and it is for Flex to resolve.
