Conductor acts up with FM transmitter

[sebjsan]

Hi all,I ran my first show tonight. Used the conductor for the lights,but while doing my test found out that my FM transmitter czh-05b interferes with my conductor and won't let it work. Sink have to reflag the etherdongle and used LSP manually to run my show. Any thoughts.

? how far is the transmitter to the conductor  as you may need move the transmitter away from the conductor 

[sebjsan]

At first it was right next to it. Then I pulled it as far as I could with the stick cable. The issue took longer but still occurred in dew time.

I have been using same transmitter without a problem?

Dpitts, are you using the stock cord?
What's the distance between the transmitter And cunductor?
Do you have walls between the two?

You could always wrap the conductor case in aluminum foil and then ground the foil.  That should act as a shield and protect it from most of the signal.  You might also wamt to plug the transmitter and the Etherdongle into different outlets.

I had a similar issue.  I had to move the FM transmitter to another location and ran a 25ft audio cable between the two.  If the FM transmitter was sitting next to the conductor, it would keep restarting and acting really odd.

I am using a stock audio cable and the units are 2 feet apart at most

I tried the following:
Changed the audio cables to new. Get issue when i connect the FM transmitter (which is at least 20' away) to the conductor. When not connected the control panel is fine.
Connected the FM transmitter to the pc and broadcased music. Conductor control panel works fine. So dont think its a broadcasting/ radio frequency issue.
At this point im sure its the FM transmitter but im confused as to why it works with others and not me.

What station are you using?  If you power off the FM transmitter, does the EDC work?

[sebjsan]

The EDC works when i turn off the FM transmitter. I am using 92.9 FM.

Getting closer.
Changed the output frequency level from high to low. Now the control panel is stable. Unfotunetly the conductor wont play now. With or without the transmitter connected. Everything is as it should on the control panel. Ill try and reflash, see if that helps.

[sebjsan]

2 steps forward and 1 step back. Reflashing the pic fixed the control panel issue.
The control panel doesnt act up like before with the transmitter connected.
I can play a show without the transmitter connected.
Now with the transmitter connectedi select show and select play it acts as if its going to start the show but stops short and wont play the show.

I am using 87.9.  I wonder if that makes any difference.

[sebjsan]

I think it does, just went down to 76.0 and it works. Unfotunetly i have a great sign made up for 92.9
