RFR and v 2.0 update

If you have not upgraded your RFR to 2.0 yet, and can live without the networkable base station, I recommend waiting.  Both of mine are now only functional while plugged into USB power.  The tech support guys are stumped and say they're seeing it with other units besides mine.  One of mine is in ETC hands right now.

The units power-cycle continuously when the battery drops (or *thinks* it drops) below a certain level.  It is apparently not fixable by downgrading, either.

 

Just a heads-up.   I have full faith in the awesome ETC tech support people that it will be fixed soon!

  • Many customers have reported significant improvement with RFR v2.0 software.

    If you have a full battery charge (charge it overnight), how long does the unit work before it starts to reboot? We will test this on the RFR you returned.

    Thanks,

    Not that this will halp you much, but I have not seen any of the above mentioned problems with my RFRs sinced I updated to version 2.0, and I have 5 of them.  However, I do have 2 of the 5 base stations that will drop offline on the network side but will stay active on the wireless side.  This causes my handheld to connect to the base station and get stuck in bootup trying to connect to a primary console, which it can not.  I have not mentioned it to support yet as I am trying to pin the problem down more and see if there is something funny with the network.  Everything else with the RFR 2.0 upgrade has worked quite well for me and I would recommend it.
