Tom,

It shouldn't matter if the cable is plugged in or not for a reset.   If 
you have the ARCP software working, you can do either a full or partial 
reset from within the software, and of course you would need to be 
connected to the pc to do it that way.


If I remember right to do it from the radio, , press and hold the a/b 
key while turning on the rig and you will be prompted to  do a reset or 
cancel out.


One other thing with the ARCP and USB,  be sure you are connected to a 
on board  usb port and not through a hub.  Also be sure the  virtual com 
driver is installed and all port numbers and settings match up.

73, Steve  KW3A
