John, maybe we should start an alt.wireless.smc.support-group news list. :)
I agree that these units are so flaky it is difficult to reproduce the
problems sufficiently well to characterize them. Some users have theorized
that the unit has heat problems, and the heat problems are clearly worse
when the unit is sending/receiving. This would explain a lot about the
interactions with wireless, and the other unpredictable behavior.

In a recent note to this list, "Colgate" noted that the FCC info. on the
better 12VDC unit (model 5432)
likely has a higher power amplifier section as well, which might explain the
fact that people seem satisfied with the 5432's range, but are unhappy with
the 5435's (5VDC) range.
