Have a T1M that is used as a UHF base for a LS (upgraded to a LS+). All 4 constellations are turned on and used. Typically can get a mile range, even into woods, if the base is set up higher than any shot I need and in the clear.
For a couple years the radio will stop with the icon turning 1st yellow then turns red and stays until the lower number advances from 1 to 42 or 43 then that number goes to 80 and the icon turns green with 100 link rate number in the top. Now more frequently it will stay red and never reconnect even if the base is in clear view a few hundred feet away. I can live with the occasional event but when it does not reconnect it becomes an issue, especially if I have just hiked 3000ft. up a mt. to get a couple shots! It does it at any distance not just long ones and at variable intervals or may not at all for several days. I need to go back to the base and bluetooth reconnect to the base download the previous base file then start another session and can usually finish a day without it totally shutting down again, however it may go red and then after 42-43 turn green and I can then continue.
The on (green) and off (red) occurs on most every project sometimes just a few minutes after setting up, so I don’t think it is an overheating issue. If I get out of UHF range and then once I get back into range it will reconnect green and work most of the time.
A couple times I have tapped the icon when red with high numbers, like 812, and get a white screen that says UHF freq. error.
On my office base point, as a test, I set an old T1 as the base and when I checked after 6 hours the LS was still connected. They were about 500 ft. apart
If this needs an RMA for radio replacement, can the radio parts from a T1 be swapped into it? I have an unused T1 that could be used for parts that I kept for a source of replacement batteries and the radio “stick”.
