While programming a SaberII in DOS, it has no problems reading the radio OK, but still fails when you try to WRITE the programming changes back to the radio. Here's what's happening:

After starting my Saber RSS program in DOS, I've now made my programming changes and then select the proper function-key command to write to the radio, and I get a screen that says "Prompt Number 33" ("Press F2 to Continue")

When you press F2, you then get:

"Which tuning values do you want programmed in the radio?"
"F2 selects the field programmer tuning values" ("F2 RPF Values")
"F6 selects the original tuning values stored in the radio" ("F6 Radio Values")

IF you press F2, the screen immediately changes, to read:

"A serial bus I/O error was detected. Check the connection between the radio and the computer, and make sure the radio is on. This is a FATAL ERROR, therefore, the current build will be aborted." "Press F2 to continue."

IF you press F6, the screen shows that it has started "extracting radio alignment data", and counts through the channels. As soon as it gets up to channel 32, the screen immediately reverts to the exact same I/O error message as noted above (when F2 was selected).

Ironically, I can use my HT1000 RSS in DOS the same way, without any problems.... but, when it comes to working on the Saber, there's nothing BUT problems!

Any ideas, as to how to proceed past these issues? And, what the heck does "Prompt Number 33" mean?

Thanks!
