Yeah... We have a set of 2006 radios that work beautifully. The 2007 radios crap out all the time. And how do they expect you to mount your radio so it is '6-8"' completely away from metal? Do they want a foot long piece of plywood sticking out from the middle of your bot in a direction away from any other part of the bot that doesn't violate the height limit and in a place where the cord can't get caught in moving parts / get run over by robots climbing up your ramp?

Why do the old 06 radios which are RS-232 have no problem, while these new larger RS-422 radios have all sorts of problems.

Also, they wont let us use the old ones. WHY???
