Based on what I've seen, I think that it is undoubtedly a hardware problem within the RC or the RC Radio itself (most likely the radio), for two reasons. First, I think we need to assume that the LEDs on the RC are working correctly, because if they're not then there's a hardware problem right there, in the RC. Second, if we assume that what the LEDs tell us is correct, then we know it's a hardware problem somewhere between the RC and the RC Radio, because when the signal loss occurs, the only LED that changes is the Radio State, which becomes red, indicating that there is no radio connected at all. From there, once you make sure that the cable connecting the two is in working condition its easy to understand how the problem has to be within the RC or the Radio Modem. And when you try using older modems and have no problems, you can eliminate the RC.

Anyway, to me the only logical conclusion is that the problem is within the radio itself, especially considering that the teams that have received new radios have had no problems at all.

And my last question was, do the teams who received new radios still notice that it takes several seconds for the radios to initially synchronize?
