->> Woo Hoo!!! Multi-Zone receive is a feature I requested about a year ago. Merry Christmas to me! I will be installing the new firmware and trying it out at the ND hoops game tomorrow!

Notre Dame remodeled its basketball arena over the summer. I went from about 98% reliability with my Pocket Wizards to about 85-90%. Still good, but a noticeable and frustrating drop. I'll have to tinker around with some of the new modes to see if I can get my PW reliability back up to where it was.

Robert--Have you noticed any noteworthy improvements in range and/or reliability with the new firmware?
