Hi Courtney,

When the UHFA.EXE program starts running, it should catch the DSP, no 
matter what its state might be. It then resets to base conditions and loads 
all parameters. This latter item comes from the .CFG file. So, if the 
DSP-10 hardware is not powered off, it should never be necessary to reload 
UHF3 to the DSP.  I use it this way all the time and have done the process 
in all sorts of states, thousands of times, and can't remember any problems 
in recent times.  This all was changed at the time the message "Downloading 
DSP Pointers..." was added to the startup.  Before that it was a bit 
unpredictable if a reload of UHF3 was not included.

With the EZ-Kit, it works very well to put the UHF3 into EPROM and load 
from that for startup.

With DSPx, loading from flash works well too. There is still a problem with 
left and right channels of the CODEC in the DSPx, and it may take two 
loads, or restarts of the UHFA to get it right. Every other start reverses 
the channels.  Lyle has this on his list, I believe!

Does this help?
