Joe,
I understand the stance you take on this. As with anything electronic, or mechanical sometimes, problems can occur. As stated, I installed this in the F3s in 2015 after removal of the PS1 (which gave ever more the trouble). It had ran fine, sounded fine until the other day. I am beginning to believe the engine went into conventional for some reason, have not determined why, yet. I definitely heard a "clank" like sound repeatedly and afterwards the RS would fade away. I did do repeated shut down and restart to ensure I was hearing what I thought I heard. That was my mistake, I am certain. When it first occurred, I should have set the engine aside and inspected it, then perform the reset of the engine ID and feature #6. My mistake, I am certain, but the curiosity got the better of me. One would think I had learned that lesson years ago!! LOL!! So, who knows, with a new RS F3 board installed, this most likely will not happen again. The Gremlins are "out there" and pop their heads up time to time. Oh yeah, have done so yet, but will still keep the RS board and try it later in another engine. You never know. Have done this before and it all worked out fine. Only would like to have the knowledge GGG, John, Stan or others have to check it out as a stand alone. Hmmmm…. instructions do illustrate how you can use in convention engine, without serial input from TMCC board.
