"Upload Firmware" updates and reprograms the radios to the newest firmware version. Click "Copy to Remote" to program transmitter. See buttons below.

I highly doubt you have damaged any of your components. I have yet to experience any of the issues you mention, but I'll be sure and post my experience and solution if I do.
The GPS I consider "disposable". The problem is I forgot what settings the v1 air module/tracker was. I reprogrammed the v1 receive unit to work with a v2 transceiver/tracker. Different net ID, frequencies
etc. So now I want both the v1 receiver and v1 remote/tracker back to "stock". Problem is, I forgot the v1 remote tracker settings. One can pair a v1 receiver with a v2 transceiver
with no problem. There is no USB port on the v1 remote/tracker to program from. It can only go out via the RF link and if the v1 radios aren't paired in the first place with the same
parameters, one is screwed. You forget to "copy required to remote" and then reprogram the receiver for another tracker, you won't be able to pair with tracker #1 unless you
remembered the parameters to "restore" the receiver to.
I plug in the "local" v1 receiver into the computer and either programmer will call up its settings. The trouble is the v1 "remote" doesn't give the solid green LED lock. Both receive and transmitter/remote have flashing green LEDs. I tried "flashing" but nothing happens to the remote. Only the local receiver is changed.
Tell you what, you program both the remote/tracker and the receiver and write down every parameter. Then plug in the receiver by itself and reprogram it with different frequencies and
network ID. It will work, only the receiver will come up and you can program away. Save it to the receiver only. Now turn on your remote/tracker and your receiver and you'll
get the flashing green LED of death. You can dink with it all you want. Flashing the receiver alone t'ain't going to work and the Rf link isn't going to carry the "new" firmware to the
tracker over Rf unless it's paired to start with.
I was hoping I'd be able to say, "You da' man." But unless there is way to bring back the two units to stock from the command line when they aren't paired with a solid green LED, I may have to go with an FTDI serial card and see if I can pull the data off the JST-SH socket (on the air module) and reprogram it to "stock" directly through the serial USB module.
I apologize for the wordiness but I've explored these units not knowing what I was doing and there is no other way to explain it. The original "OP" GPS chipset is scrambled and that's fine.
I have a couple more coming. Mixing them to different v1 and v2 radios got me into the bind when I "forgot" the original parameters of the v1 air module.
If you follow my instructions above, I suspect you will mess your units up as I did except you will have written down the instructions to reprogram your receiver/local module "back" to
match your remote/tracker.
Thanks for the help. The others posts have helped immensely. Especially the setup screens. I have no doubt that setting up a new rig will be successful as long as the steps are
followed exactly. Kurt
