Fouled up Fldigi - Flamp communication under Windows

 

Hi all,
?
I didn't find this in a quick search of the group, perhaps someone can help me?
?
Last night I was using Fldigi with Flmsg and Flamp, Windows 11 laptop, on VHF (FTM-400DR radio).? All versions are current.? My configuration has worked for many months without problems.
?
Last night I accidentally clicked on Flamp XMIT button before releasing PTT on my mike.? After releasing the mike Flamp didn't transmit, and since then it won't key the radio no matter what I do.
?
Fldigi itself will key the radio, and Flmsg will also key the radio through Fldigi.? They are both working.? It's just Flamp that won't, leading me to think I somehow screwed up the xmlrpc (?) communication between Flamp and Fldigi.
?
I've tried uninstalling all three apps, deleting the fldigi.files and NBEMS.files configuration directories, and reinstalling the current versions and the problem persists.? Flamp says "Connected" but no communication is passing between Fldigi and Flamp.
?
I don't know anything about xmlrpc but my guess is that there is some corrupt data in the pipe between Fldigi and Flamp that is preventing communication and I'm hoping one of the experts can tell me what to do next or what experiment would illuminate the problem.
?
Many thanks in advance!!!

I had similar problems and reverted to FLAMP 2.2.11.

Use this version, it's an Alpha but it will be the next official release once Dave has the time to publish it.

Thanks, all!? I tried the alpha version that Robert suggested and everything is working again.? Thanks to everyone!!!? I'm a bit mystified as to what happened, to be honest.? I could have sworn it was working fine before I fat-fingered things.? But maybe I upgraded Flamp but didn't use it right away, and discovered the problem later?? At any rate, some lessons learned:
?
- the winfldigi.groups.io group is a great resource!
- if things aren't working, add reverting to the list of things to try
- when upgrading, always try the new version afterward
?
I'm going to mention them to our next ARES/RACES Fldigi and friends Sunday practice net.? BTW I'm the RACES officer and assistant ARES officer in Howard County MD.? We have adopted Fldigi/Flmsg/Flamp as our primary method to exchange complex data when we do drills.? In our last few Fire Station alerting drills (where we practice sending dispatch messages in case our electronic dispatch system goes down) we've demonstrated about 10X speed increase over passing data by voice, and of course we can also pass pictures too.? BTW in that regard, Google's Squoosh tool is a terrific, easy to use image conversion/compression tool.? One of the great features of Fldigi is that it passes through our repeaters at the full 8PSK1200F rate, with no problems.
?
We also use Winlink radio email with VARA FM because other ARES jurisdictions around us like it, and it has its advantages but it also has some serious disadvantages.? I prefer Fldigi when we don't have to interoperate.
?
And of course, thanks to Dave W1HKJ the inspiration behind it all!
