Just curious if anyone else has driver instability with the TRX. I've noticed a few issues. I've used two different Windows 7 machines.
It seems that the scanner is only recognized in certain USB ports. In specific USB ports, the driver loads and everything is fine. Some ports say the driver install failed & give the driver the yellow exclamation point in device manager on the proper driver. I can plug a flash drive or something else, like my GRE-500 programming cable into the same ports and it works fine. So I am limited as to which ports the driver likes on my machine.
I know this part is not normal usage, but I am testing for my application. I've tested and recreated this issue with the remote demo program, so I know it is not my software. If I hit begin, it connects, all is good. After a few stop/starts, the program does not connect. After killing the app and restarting, it no longer sees the scanner (but the scanner is still listed in the devices perfectly). I have to reboot the scanner for it to talk via the serial port again. I know this repeated stop-start is not normal, but still a bit annoying. Also, after a bit of this, I think the USB system gives up, because I only receive the triple usb fail sound (duh-duh-duh). Then I must reboot in order to use the scanner via cable again.
