I believe there are actually 2 problems here, and I suspect the new RC code only addresses one:
1) Dropouts in the communication link between the modems
2) RC continues to run on the last information received for a few seconds when the link drop occurs
My guess is that the new RC firmware addresses the second issue but not the first. We loaded it on Saturday but due to not having a fully-charged battery available and some other issues we're reserving judgment until we do more testing tonight. It definitely did not fix the communication loss, however. We saw the red "No Data/Radio" light on the OI at least a few times a minute, usually lasting about 2-3 seconds.
{edit} Another question that I don't remember seeing: has anyone else noticed quite a bit of latency with the new modems? We were experiencing about 1/2 second delay on any controls from the OI before the RC responded. Tonight I will compare the new and old modems to see if the new modems are responsible for this as well, but I'm curious if others noticed this too.{/edit}
