I kind of screwed up the test because I used two TXs and I left them in "merged" mode. But my GF walked about two blocks in T.Sq and there was no RF interference that I could hear. However, line of...

^ The doc I mentioned in my OP has been a top performer on Prime Direct for almost two years, but a few months ago I had a "Published, offers restricted " message next to the title in my dashboard....

^ I've had good luck contacting them via the US support phone number. They've been very responsive and it seems like they listen. Is there a support # for Rode Europe?

Nice trailer. Congrats, Alex.

The following message was posted to my Amazon Prime Direct dashboard:

Good news, Roland. Re: the internal recording failure (uncompressed) during signal loss there must have been other reports to Rode besides mine, as I doubt they would have fixed that in a few...

I spoke to Rode US tech support a few minutes ago. When I told him that the TX unit stops recording when it breaks from the RX his response was basically "Well, that defeats the whole purpose of the...

^ Got it. But still not sure why it would continue recording in one mode and not the other if it wasn't designed to do so at all...

Yes, but it would appear that the TX would stop recording (in uncompressed mode currently) in the event of a disconnect or extended dropout -- which is exactly what the backup recording function is...

OK,so I tested it again with compressed audio setting on the TX backup recording and it continued to record despite losing signal completely (in the microwave). But for some reason the backup...

@Roland. So I read your comments on Newsshooter, especially your conversation with Maddin. I tried his "microwave test", putting the TX unit in my microwave so it loses signal, and guess what -- the...

Thanks for the info, Chris. That's a pretty complex procedure to execute a single command though ;)

Thanks. I'm looking for a lav that I don't have to drive the gain up too much, as I do with the 802 on my dr-10l and now the Rode WG II. My ME2s and the Tentacle lav are more sensitive but the...

Does anyone know if the 801 is more sensitive than the 802?

^ Oh, I agree. I probably wouldn't use the Rode on a paid gig, but in a pinch I'd feel more comfortable with them knowing the units are backing up. It really does seem as if their antennas and...

Yes, my first recording actually. I also get an occasional mounting error when I plug the TX into my Mac ...

^Yes, I agree about the lack of start/stop recording, but happy to have it at all ;).. I also had one recording error on a TX unit. As you say, probably firmware fixable...

Interesting tests, Roland. 120ft with the TX behind the subject's back is pretty impressive. Did you do any OUT of line of sight tests?

I don't believe there's a headphone in, Peter.

I've uploaded samples of the wireless files and internally recorded backup files from the Rode Wireless Go II. They were recorded with the onboard mic on the TX unit (At one point I went into my...

That is a surprise. The recordings should be identical. I need to test this further...

Mr. Microphone. Wasn't that on the Simpsons?

Now you have us all wondering what you invented, Paul. Please tell us it wasn't the car periscope...

Yes, and given this legal setback and the fact that Rode's sales are about ten times those of Zaxcom's I highly doubt they will go to the mat on this one.
