Hi all

I'm having a few troubles with my set up atm... I've got the magna with the RF link into my dm5. The marker is sync'd with the loader and it's priming every 5 seconds with the flashing blue. But when I start to fire the cone won't spin any faster than 1 or 2 bps no matter how fast the marker is firing :hammer:

I've been told that I may need a new board on it but i just wanted to check first :help:

try taking the hopper off and put it near the grip frame, see if that improves thing
or move the Rf board as high up the grip frame as possiable and point the antenna up to the hopper

I've tried it with the grip off and the antenna hanging out but I didn't point it at the hopper...
