Re: 245 problems with PC management

Try slowing down your communication baud rate on the radio and in your application software (the have to match-so make sure they do now, before slowing down).  If you have no flow control, and you send data from the PC faster than the radio can store it, you can "overrun", and the radio might not recognize any more valid "frames" (bytes) of data.  Worth a try.

  My 245s have never lost information, even if left for months with a flat
  battery. (I'm pretty much converted to the 396 now.) I wonder if the radio
  has a memory fault.
