Default AFP ?

My AFP suddenly stopped working unless I thouch the antanea on the radio. Does the dongle have some sort of ground problem?

Not that I know of, try taking the xtal out ... see if that does anything.

Do you have another radio to try?

You can look at the solder connectors on the black dongle and also the Interface. Just make sure they fully connected.

I had the same problem...very frustrating. Screwed around with a Skyport7 for days (good basic xtr) and no joy then just before throwing the towel in i tried an old 6xas and bingo....it worked. Not sure why but one worked and one did not? Now i just use my old RF controller thru the joystick port and it too works.

I don't mean to pass you off, but I just don't know the solution.

Ikarus will likely be able to help, you get free tech support from them as well. Call 239-690-0003 and let us know what they say.
