Went about starting 7000 DLE MKII as usual this morning and an error message popped up saying "Error starting SDR hardware, is it connected and powered?" Answer to question is YES.
What gives? Reset?

Getting extremely high overflow/underflow numbers. Reset both but the numbers went up like a rocket immediately after that again. See current numbers below.

Powered down entire station last night. Rebooted PC and then powered up radio and all works as it should

I leave my station on all the time for remote operation, and I see the same message/issue every 3 to 4 days when I try to use it in the mornings after it was idle all night.
Thetis will be shut down and minimized. Restarting Thetis gives that message and it always takes a power cycle of my 8 months old 7000 to get going.
A minor annoyance at this time, since I can remote power cycle the 7000 to get it back up.
Thetis v2.8.11 x64 (10/20/20) (Protocol 1 v.2.7) MW0LGE 21i

Interesting. This suggests that on your specific serial numbers the firmware is crashing after a while.
JJ4SDR what firmware are you running?
W4BF perhaps you would benefit from switching to Protocol 2.
