On the subject of the "Link" function, has anybody tried to connect to a PC with the battery still connected?
I've put one into "Link On" and plugged in the USB, but my PC just says Unable to recognise USB device.
Disconnect battery and it connects straight away.

My own design & manufacture.
The problem is I am running slowly running out of Beryllium Copper and it's near impossible to buy it unless you want buy 50kg.

After testing the SX350 chipset for the past couple of weeks, I managed to get a box completed this afternoon.
Only building a few to start with and sorry but they are all spoken for.

I have to say I am very impressed with the chipset. Very easy to use and takes just a few minutes to get used to the "tilt and turn" method of adjustment in the menuing system.

Full spec of mod and chipset below.

To say a "few problems" is a bit of an understatement. Type B's are failing every day, check out the forum there are hundreds of posts all saying DOA.

They are sending out new bases to me and my son, but I hope they are not from the same batch. They wont say.

The problem is with the positive post, it seems to be fitted into the same non-conductive material as the non-conductive part of the base.
Result = It's non-conductive!

Both mine and my sons work if you tighten the 510 screw in the base (really tight), then go dead after 10 minutes or so.

Type A's don't seem to be affected, different manufacturer.

Think they have switched the A' & B's as I cancelled my type A when the B came out. It was supposed to be better non-conductive material.

I suppose it is.

Generally with flat tops remove the small 3mm ish rings, but with button tops you need the small 3mm ish rings.
