Hey guys, I'm using the 300RX with the pocketwizard ST4. I'm messing around doing some self portraits with my new orbis as fill flash and it seems as if the 300RX is changing itself back to 1.9 whenever I set it below that. Is something going on?

There's nothing in hardware or software that should or would make it do that. It sounds like something is wrong with the 300RX.

I am a TOTAL doofus. I had FEC dialed in from shooting yesterday and the TT5 was sending the "corrected" flash level every time I half-pressed the shutter.

Crisis averted. I'll be the guy in the corner with the dunce cap on.
