F43GS cloning problem.

[ddrongowski]

I have 2 revision 1.1 F43GS transceivers that I was able to clone/program just last month with my CS-F33G revision 2.2 software and OPC478 cable.
I added a couple of frequency channels and started cloning the new configuration to my 5 transceivers. The 3 revision 2.x transceivers took it without issue. But when I went to clone the 2 revision 1.1's I got the "Illegal data. Check the following: - The COM port settings, - Cloning cable connections, -Transceiver power is ON." message.
I checked all of that, tried "Normal Speed" vs "High Speed". Tried a different computer, different OPC478 cable, etc... and still not able to get it to clone.
Using the same cable, computer, etc and running CS-F33G ADJ I can communicate to the transceivers, so I believe the comm port and cable are fine.
I tried to use another system with CS-F33G revision 1.x software and get the same result. I also tried to clone the original configuration that came with them, and still the same outcome.

Of course now they boot up to "CLONE NG". Does anyone have any suggestions or the magic combination to resolve my issue?

Thanks.

UPDATE!!!! THEY LIVE!!! Using the same OPC478 cable and CS-F33G ADJ Rev2.0 software. I did a connect and pulled the "config" off of the transceiver (it only had 40 channels). Then I changed the SQL level up 1 digit. Then I did the sweep the BPF ALL and RSSI [ENTER] to Start. Then I opened up the CS-F33G revision 2.2 software, and loaded the configuration that I know last worked, and told it to Write -> TR. It worked, so I loaded up the configuration that gave me the original issue, and it to cloned right up. Was able to repeat the exact same procedure with the other radio and as I said THEY LIVE!!!
