Maybe not terminated correctly inside the Reach RS? There is a post here somewhere about defective Reach RS unit where antenna inside wasnt connected at the factory… so could be a possibilty?
But, I am sure you tried this on BOTH your base and rover units and no charge… no probability that isn’t the problem… but maybe a probability the internal connections of the unit performed by the same “dumb” factory worker???
Before I took it apart though… keep at it and wait to see what else you hear?
