Probably this is a similar problem I have with my BS-11, when
turning on the cold BS-11 the first time, frequently the firmware
load for TRX0 fails. Most certainly this comes from a hardware
problem (maybe aged capacitors ?).

I have to restart (turn off and on) the BS-11 a few times till it
works. If the unit has warmed up, I never saw this problem till now.

I also made the experience that it could help if no LMT cable (serial
cable) is attached so I usually try it this way: Turn the BS-11 on
without the LMT cable plugged in (at the BS-11 side) and after a
while (around 5 to 10 minutes) check if the firmware for TRX0 is
loading or is already loaded. If it fails, unplug the LMT cable,
turn the BS-11 off and try again. I am not really sure about the
effect of the LMT cable, but maybe the cable receives noise.

Best regards,
  Dieter
