It's the tuning hardware or software that is causing my problems. After setting, resetting, making sure I have good connections with the hardware and running a lot of test bins with no consistent results I removed the G1 memory adapter and inserted the memcal directly into the PCM and the problems stopped. Not sure if the adapter is bad or the bins are corrupt, just glad to have found the ghost. It's been a 2 year rollercoaster because I relied on this to work but instead it has cost me more money than I want to admit, but the knowledge I gained was worth it. Now that I know what I'm working with I could get another G1 adapter and try that route again but don't really like the extra connections. Can I burn directly to the memcal by using the Burn 2 and the HDR1 memcal header?
