Well, I've tried three other RFX-250i's and two MRF-350i's all the same result.  Now I guess I could have all bad equipment.  I do not have the original power supply for the MRF-350i could that be it?  I'm using the power supply from the 980i remote charging base?  Could this cause this issue?  Can someone confirm this?  I'm going to go out and get an exact matching one tomorrow and see if anything changes.
