I have a 211 setup, and today something weird happened. I had the units
switched on, and saw a full RF signal listed on the screen, however, the pilot
tone signal was blinking, and no audio. I hit the Pilot bypass, and the audio
sounds horrible, muffled and distorted. My other unit was perfectly fine. I
swept the frequencies and had clear channels. I also tried several different
freqs with the same results. Any ideas?

Are they in the same block? ,if so, check both of them on same frequency
each time with different transmitter, that way you will know if it tx or rx
making the problem.

Yup, I thought of this, same block, different freqs. :( I'm going to have it
looked at right after breakfast.

Make sure you aren't one click (100kHz) off on the frequency setting
on the transmitter from the receiver setting. That can give you a
strong RF indication but the frequency detector will find an off
frequency situation and refuse to enable the pilot tone signal or the
audio. Operating in bypass mode will enable the audio but the off
frequency condition will produce severe distortion. This has caught
enough users that we are modifying future firmware to display a
warning message when a stong signal one click off is being detected
with a pilot tone. It may just be an interfering signal but at least
the user is given a heads up about the situation.

Let me know if you find some other information about your problem.
