Two same receivers - - -Different

[RT-Cat]

From a long drawn out fight with a bad company, I ended up with two S9's. One I have been using for about 5 to 6 weeks and the other arrived last week. I hooked up the No 2 unit and added the same software file. Did some scans and discovered it does not or can not pick up half of what the No 1 unit can. Same S9, same units, but very different. Is this a case of them being manufactured by many different companies in China?

Could be from a different factory, but not likely since both units are from the same reseller within a very short time period.

More likely that the new unit is defective.

Sounds like the fight continues ..... Round Two!

is it specific channels (or maybe polarity)?

Maybe. I would not put it past them. Packaging was so well done, it looked like a new one from the manufacturer. It was not the bad unit I returned to them. Know enough to mark them so they cannot pull that stunt.

Well, wish I had kept track of that so I could answer that. Not sure if it could be polarity or not. The 920 still takes care of that with the polarotor. If I get bored I may hook it up again and make another attempt.

Are you testing both of them in the same connection?? Are you loading first, the same Firmware Version you have and them the TP and dump files??? If you go and dump only the TP_prog to the new box it wil keep the firm version that came in. It will not have the same as the one you already have.

1...Are you testing both of them in the same connection?? 2...Are you loading first, the same Firmware Version you have and then the TP and dump files??? 3...If you go and dump only the TP_prog to the new box it wil keep the firm version that came in.

1-Yes, same connection. Not at same time.
2-Yes, and information screen shows same files.
3-You are correct there. Did not do that.
4-All good things to ask.
Strange it is working this way?
