Can someone tell me how you do that please as it's a new one on me.

Alpha has mentioned it before but I can't remember where nor do I remember the procedure, you may want to shoot him a PM.

I've paired the Tx with the Tank 3 times now and surprise surprise.......nothing has changed. Have just e mailed the vendor again to that effect as she said that if the pairing didn't work the only thing they can do is swap the board for me. I don't fancy getting into home repairs on something that's brand new so we'll see how this pans out. I'm really not somebody who grizzles my way through life but this is SO typical of my luck.

Had a hunch the vendor was yanking your chain Steel.. especially if you told them it ran and the sound didn't go with it ... right there they (being professionals) should have told you to repack it and send it back ;)

500 dollars is nothing to sneeze at...that tank should be perfect ;)

Hopefully they wont argue with me because if they do I will go at it through the credit card. I've already got one tank in bits - last thing I need is to be working on another one as a favour to a vendor that I don't know!

Hmmmm.... not cool Steel. Well at least they're giving you a new board, I'd ask for a refund of like $50 because the tank is damaged and they expect you to repair it when it should have come to you in perfect condition.

I really don't want to work on it - what if I do and then it all stops working - how will they not say it's something that I've done ? Rather not go there. I don't suppose they will want to pay for the postage both ways but they should thrash that out with their supplier really.
