I'm assuming they function with the AB flash heads via sync chord, but wanted to find some testimonials with tried and true feedback. The PCB CyberSync receivers are just not cutting it. Wondering if anything else needs purchased along with the Pocket Wizard III or this all I need? (external link) Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!....connecting with a standard sync chord?....Great! A CyberSync broke last night and I couldn't get any of the other three CS I had to fire the strobes so I had to use the backup Cactus Vs, which aren't reliable.

Yup, I think they use standard sync chords.
