Default PW Plus II my observations.

Am new enough to PWs and only really started working them.

I seem to have a wee problem with my Sekonic L-358 and it's RF module to trigger the PWs. It is not constant, but on my last shoot I though it had given up ~ back home it's working again.

Also thought I had a PW problem as one would not fire, again back home this worked too ... This little issue is down to the 'transmit mode button' which can be just off, imperceptibly off the mark, for 'local' 'both' or 'remote' ~~ note to self to check this ~ though I actually did on the job but under pressure missed this and I did not move the switch as it looked in the right position.

Finally, when firing the PW from the camera's sync socket the PW must be plugged into the camera/flash socket on the PW ~~~ must remember this too, as with my other little problem on the shoot and the client present, I missed this little ditty too as it was plugged into the flash socket ~ in time I won't make this mistake again.

Well, it sounds like you got all your issue worked out. Once you figured it out they are really a great combo huh?
