Well its being returned. I messed with it for a hour or so and gave up.
The thing connected exactly once to the software.
I turned off Roger beep and lowered monitor level. Turned it off turned it on and it would never connect again. Radio itself functions fine.
Deleted and reinstalled drivers and software. Even tried my laptop just for kicks. No dice. Connectivity dead.
Since it's going back I can also say I was fairly disappointed in the quality of the radio. Unlike the previous Radioddity hand held for my mobile the QT40 did not feel anything at all but cheap.
I realise people have them and love them but comparing to say the Linclon II+ it felt extremely low end. Perhaps that's the cost of so many features for so little money. When the features refuse to work though, the draw of it declines quite a bit. I loved, and I do mean loved the DSP compared to my Prez, recieve noise level was far quieter. I wont miss anything else about it.
