[DSP-10] Re: Comments on loading DSPx with DSP 10

Hi Bob,

Jimmy may have more comments, but let me jump in with one!

It appears that the successful load to bank 1 of UHF3XH.HEX was using COM 
port 2. The later command to XFLASH1 was using COM port 1.  The trace files 
don't show the port for XF_TERM1, so I can't tell if they failed because of 
the COM port.

Thanks for sending the trace file. It hopefully aids with this kind of thing!

73,
Bob W7PUA
