When I did the test again, the recording was turned off completely. The stop "square" at the top of the screen, not like the video. Wasn't logging/recording anything.

The only item plugged when it was going crazy was the PB. My other items were disconnected, including the GPS. But, I will definitely go back and physically turn off all the other items and try again.

Also, with the Powerbox telemetry disconnected I plugged in the MBAR which has the Xicoy daisy chained into it and had zero problems.

Finally, it was stable for a full 10 minutes, then one RX goes weird for 90-120 sec and stabilizes, then the other. Every time. If I swap receivers around the time to garble changes, but it's consistent/repeatable for that new configuration.

I have DEFINITELY seen issues where excessive logging, usually related to GPS data, causes erratic telemetry operation, even with a regular receiver or CB200. Try turning off logging of everything except the basic receiver voltages, etc and I would bet this issue disappears. Keep your your logging to 4 or 5 of your most important pieces of information rather than simply letting it log everything..

When I had logs of logging going on I would notice some information would be displayed erratically. I never really looked at Q but everything else was screwing up so it wouldn't surprise me. The faster your SD card the more you can get away with logging but even with a very fast card I was able to cause problems.
