RJ,
finally had a chance to do some testing.
I currently have 2 SS strands up first is Hybrid with 741/742/743 as the full strand channels and the other at 942/943/944.
The first strand works as programmed with the plug in, but the second is weird. It starts at channel 513/514/515 as the 3 hybrid channels and then uses the 516 to 741 for the individual nodes. So not sure why it changed channels with the 2.5 plug in.
Unfortunately I haven't had tons of time to test it as I broke one of my toes this weekend, so walking around is a little hmm painful =)
Hope that helps,
JS
EDIT: For clarification 2nd SS string does not work as programmed with the 2.5 plug in
