Galil / Re: A Galil Mach 3 communication problem I need help with.

Thanks for the response AussieBloke! After 1200 or so reads and no responses I gave up checking for any help. Have been meaning to get in touch with the Mach3 folks but just haven't done that yet. My machine goes for long periods unused and then periods of intense usage.
Seems to me I checked that I had the newest firmware, but will check again. I have kind of learned to live with this problem. Turns out that homing to a micro switch without an index pulse is more accurate than I thought; so I home my machine at the start, like I should. This lets me start again with good registration.
I have trouble believing my problem is related to electrical interference. My servo amps are linear and no other machines run in my shop while I use the CNC router other than the router. But I suppose it could be the router.
