Heard from RCBS tech guy - nice fella, been emailing me even over the weekend !!!
Agreed there is a problem with "some" (haha) units; sent me a "band aid" to trick the PID - and it worked !
. Said they are working to get the issue fixed and will resume production. yay
He said any one having issues, use the RCBS site cust serv e mailer and they will get back to you.
I guess there are various issues and my "band aid" my not be what someone else needs.
If you get "Steve", he is a super nice guy !
I did mention they should give some kind of guidance on their site, sucks to eat crow, but they are eroding their great cust serv rep.
