Good day. I am new to the forum. I recently bought the 4170C from Bob at Array Solutions and, boy, am I impressed!
But, I cannot get the voice output to work, nor the CW or tones. No audio output. I have checked and double checked that my speakers are on and that I have the right things checked in the Setup tab. I have tried it on an XP and a Windows 7 machine. Nothing. All else works great...no problems. I am using an FTDI chipset USB to serial cable and no glitches or intermittent communication.
I know I am doing something stupid. But, not being a smart guy, I cannot figure out what it is.
Secondly, I upgraded the firmware to the latest version. I am unclear as to whether the files from the new firmware are supposed to be in a totally new and separate folder from the original firmware folder created when I first got the AIM. Or, despite the fact there are fewer files in the latest firmware upgrade, should I just create a new file folder for the newest firmware. Right now, I have the original folder with the original firmware files and then I added a new folder to that one for the latest firmware upgrade and all seems to be working but I have not tested all functions either.
Any assistance would be deeply appreciated. Again, one hell of a piece of work --- I love this AIM 4170C.
