The solution is not to use a computer radio as a slave why would you want to anyway? Most people who are using the slave are newbies anyway and dont need bells or whistles . I turn my slave off and have had no problems getting it to work with my Prism as master.Did you try turning on the Prism when it was used as a slave or was it a different channel?Mabey it would work that way with antenna unscrewed.
