Glenn:
 
I have replicated your problem with high speed motor drive issues.  We are looking into the problem.  Your 608xxxx unit is a Plus 2.0.  Your 609xxxx unit is a Plus 2.1 unit.  They should not have the issue you describe, so we are working on a correction.
 
As far as Transmit Only mode, the following should help:
 
PLUS 2.0 Normal blink rate – 1 blink every 2 seconds
 
PLUS 2.0 TX Only blink rate – 1 blink every 1 second
 
PLUS 2.1 Normal blink rate – 1 blink every 3.5 seconds
 
PLUS 2.1 TX Only blink rate – 1 blink every 1.75 seconds
 
 
I apologize for that confusion.
 
Take care,
