iRFR channel check mode??? for iPhone app

I just updated to 1.9.5 and went to use the iRFR iPhone app. to bring up some groups on set.  It seems to be stuck in channel Check mode and I cannot get it to go into Live Mode.  Is this an error on my part or a change that happened with the newest software update?

ION 1k  version 1.9.5

iRFR  app. version 1.1.42

 

Thanks

  • My apologies about my previous statement about 1@FULL ENTER.  Yes, that puts it into channel check, but if you type 1 FULL FULL(which is much quicker) it does not add the CHAN CHECK at the end of the command, so then that channel is captured(sorry, old expression term) and the only way to un-capture it is to switch to LIVE MODE and OUT or SNEAK it.  I would like an option on the chan check page for a softkey for OUT or SNEAK.  Or of course, just default to LIVE MODE (I like the idea of a preference for this default).

     

     

  • Thanks all for your input  JP, we agree with both of your comments.

  • So, I was using my iRFR for the majority of the day today, and I continued to get more and more frustrated with the automatic booting to 'Channel Check' mode.  The big problem I had, was that if my iPod Touch sat for more than a few minutes the network connection would time out.... not a iPod Touch issue, because I still had signal to my WAP.  I would then have to return to the connection page, and re-connect with my console..... then, take the time to put it back in 'Live' mode before I could use it again.  Is there any way to add the option to boot to the last used mode??  I would absolutely LOVE that!!

    Has anyone else had the connection issue I am having?

  • Having now loaded 1.9.6 and looked at the RFR  ** NOT THE iRFR **:

    Initial boot up was in channel check mode.  Every subsequent boot up was in the mode when powered down (Live, Park, Playback).

    I can see the advantage of focusing in Channel ck mode (in my house, house rig, lamps are channeled consequtively): just NEXT through each position (FOH Cove, Catwalk . . .) Your mileage may vary.

    I LOVE that I can access addresses without going into patch. THANK YOU!

  • Yeah, I experience the same thing...

    When you let your iPhone/iPod/iPad idle for too long, it'll put a hold on the Wifi connection in order to save battery. And yes, when I re-connect to the console it boots up in Channel Check mode. So I have to constantly put it back to Live mode throughout the day. Each time I do it it gets a little more frustrating... So I totally feel your pain. I hope some compromise can be worked out. Booting up in 'last used' mode would work great for me too.

  • You can go into the iRFR settings and turn on Sleep Disable- Disable device's auto matic sleep after idle timeout.  However- it will drain your phone's battery fairly quickly.  When I have run a show with my iRFR I have it set to not let the phone sleep.
