Cannot Get from or Send to radio
If communications fail between the FT-8800 and the computer when attempting to Get data from or Send data to, check that the radio is not in Cross Band Repeat mode.
To check:
Look carefully at the face of the radio.
The indication for MAIN will not be there.
This will tell you that cross band repeat is on.
NOTE: The radio remains in cross band repeat mode even when powered off and back on.
The radio will not access the start-up menu with cross band repeat mode engaged.
It appears that radio can remain in Cross Band Repeat mode even if the user thinks it has been disengaged.
