Uh-Oh! (Saber COPE C/P Oooops)

[HumHead]

Now I've done it!

While tweaking the oscilator warp on my Sabers, I made the mistake of trying to align one of the Saber IIs while a Saber III RPF was still loaded. When I realized my mistake, I went to read the radio and got a serial bus error.

I'm taking a pretty good guess that I went and damaged the COPE code plug, because if I unplug the controller, I can program, read, and use the radio as a Saber I without any problems.

I thought I'd be clever and "crash program" the radio as a Saber I, then reinstall the controller and try to reload the Saber II RPF. When the controller is reinstalled, it displays the ERR 0 81 message, as I would expect, but I stil get a serial error when I try to read or write the radio. (If I again unplug the controller, I can again write it as a Saber I, but I'm getting a little nervous about repeatedly unplugging and replugging the flex.)

Any help with recovering from the consequences of my carelessness would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Never mind, I found a fix.

The winning solution turned out to be creating a new minimal RPF with no features enabled, and only one channel defined with default values.

After loading the "minimal" RPF using RPF tuning values, I was again able to reload the normal RPF and tuning values without further incident.
