Among this is that the device is unable to transmit data with the firmware returning a "TX_LOCKED" status. From what I understand this is a regulatory check failure based on the channel type, which does not make sense in this regard since from what I can tell channel 8, which is an active channel, is used. I passed this question to our firmware folks and now waiting for an answer. Reinette
