Can Anyone Help Me With This Please, I Have A Tune With The
Extension Of .xtr And I Believe It Should Be .frg To Work On The Predator. When I Try To Load It To The Predator I Can't Find The File That I Saved To My Desktop. When The Program D/s Downloader Opens It Only Has .frg Files Available For D/l. Also When I Set My Baud Rate To 115200 On Both The Pc And The D/s Downloader Program It Shuts Down My Pc. This Could Be Because It Can't Find A Valid File For D/l.........any Help With This Would Be Awesome.

I got it from Amazon, there is 3 places to set the baud rate i noticed.....in hardware on your pc.........on the d/s downloader software........and on the predator........i think the issue is that the file extension is wrong..........thanks.

I spoke to Rick while he is on the road and this will be a priorty as soon as he gets back..should be any minute now




update:

I checked this and the first program was sent before we recieved your 2nd email telling this was for a Preditor..it was assumed you needed a XCALtune..Preditor was not seen until 2nd email

new program will be forth coming asap
