Re: Radio sos

Can you be more specific about what "having issues" means?

In addition to the obvious metal antenna, the 2007 radios have another antenna hidden inside the case. Make sure that antenna isn't buried behind a chunk of metal.

Have you checked for radio interference? Some cell phones (the GSM variety, I think) have shown the ability to mess with robot communication if they're too close to the OI. If you have a 900 MHz cordless phone, wireless security system, or audio/video extender system, that might be causing problems. Try setting your radio to channel 04 or 13 instead of 40.
