Glad you got it sorted, it is too bad you had to go through the problems though. PowerBox Should really be more proactive with helping CORE purchasers use older PowerBox products. They don't really give much info there. I don't have a Champion but when I got my new CORE I could not get it to work with my older Royal and also had to ask for help on the Support Forum. I found out I would have to use the Royal in a different mode, or send it in for upgrade. Now I am happily using it in the "degraded" mode, that is no problem, it all works well. But as you found learning how to use two PowerBox products together was anything but easy. Ideally it should not be this way. I wondered at the time why the manuals were not updated, perhaps now they are or will be.
