I see. Well, I think I was looking at an old version of the docs, so it probably didn't have that. I was actually sort of hoping that it did indicate an error, because last weekend I had a problem with the unit. For some reason I could not receive any signal using the teledongle while the unit was on the pad unless I was within about 10-20 ft of it. At the flight line it would not link up at all. I've never had that happen and everything was in the same configuration (and same rocket) that I've flown before. I did try changing frequencies and I also tried moving the ground station around in case it was an interference issue of some sort. Then I heard the unfamiliar beeping and thought maybe there was some kind of error. But if that isn't it, I'm going to have to troubleshoot further. I need to set it up at home as a test and see if it is still behaving this way and do further analysis. Try to determine if the problem is on the transmitting end or the receiving end. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
