Yes, did all that.
?Here is the log.. doesn't really show any causes.

You re-ran qnconfig and set the serial number, yes?? It should be in the format Tom indicated, AP123456. I believe its case sensitive as well. If you’ve done that, run an uninstall, and install, and it should restart the programs. If qndvap still isn’t running after that, at the command prompt do a sudo journalctl -u qndvap -f and send us what it shows you.

Thank you Tom

Found the serial number, it is actually printed on the casing and it was obscured by a bit of velcro... duh...however, it still does not work. It just says the module is not running and when I try to manually start it in the maintenance menu, two leds flash briefly and then it goes back to the slow pulsing one. The firmware in my dvap is 1.7. I updated that because it kept crashing with pistar and that fixed it. However, it also no longer works with the original dvap tool. I can’t see an option to look at the log because it hasn’t started.

The serial number for my old red 2M DVAP is on a white sticker on the bottom-side of the PCB next to the USB socket, visible through the translucent case. In any event if you can't find your serial number, put in "AP123456" in you qn.cfg file and then boot up your system. Then look in the qndvap log file. It will report the actual serial number found when it tries to lock the device. Then you can set the correct number in your config file.

I'm not quite sure why Scott KI4LKF originally put this serial number check in the code, but I am reluctant to remove the check. It has some usefulness if you were wanted to set up a 70cm/2m dualband hotspot based on two DVAPs.
