Are refering to the Lynx Express Version 3 or older board when using wireless?

If so you want to remove the RS485 that is to the right of the DMX IN RJ485 Jack.

Hmm, sounds like another opportunity for adding to the manual :)

Shame the wiki guy is SO slow :)

Hmm,

That wiki guy must of woke up and cleaned up the confusing sentence at the bottom of the LE EX/RX manual

Lynx Express Board Mods Needed for Wireless to work
* LE ver 2.0 you have to remove the RS-485 chip
* LE ver 3.0 you have to remove the RS-485 chip on the right side of the DMX IN RJ485 connector
* LE ver 4.0 and later set the jumper below the RS-485 chip to wireless mode

Cheers

WOW!!!!   Man that is the first I looked! 

Rick, when you sent the banner to me to look at I thought "Yeah that looks nice." man you took it way beyond the banner. It is freaking Awesome dude!  I love the new layout!  Thank you for the time you put into the wiki as it has become a very valuable part of our site.
