I bet it won’t have any connection issues if you put the remote into the box lol… will be difficult to operate tho.
So, this probably means, if the remote is not sent in to @trampa, or having them solve the issue this is not an officially faulty remote or complaint in Frank’s book? Not saying this is how you do it, Frank, cause I don’t know, but this is one reason statistics isn’t worth much on its own.
i think the part where it failed to some degree before it got Jeffed up is the part that counts. The Jeffing up didn’t happen until after it failed, and usually a good Jeffing is what’s needed in these situations. Especially if it reveals more information on potential issues.

I’m running a Nano x and a Wand on redundant receivers connected to a unity with old firmware also connected to a metr on top of an all CF deck and my wheels are square.
yolo.

Honestly I just wanted to play with the remote and was feeling impatient to wait on a warranty process. Didn’t go through the channels there so that is totally on me. I’m confident trampa would have got my unit squared up and reshipped with one up to standards.

Just back from a lovely ride with my Wand. Right through the middle of the 5G Network.
This is valid. Here’s a video of my testing, my setup is a bit custom so your mileage may vary. Regardless it demonstrates the negative impact of the metal case around the antenna.

And I agree this will be a factor, it’s just basic RF theory. Maybe it doesn’t have tangible impact at the expected user range, but not a design choice I could justify myself.
For posterity, what’s custom about your setup? I’ve got a Trampa nrf dongle here to test on.

What material is the back plate of the casing made from?

Receiver module is SKB501 instead of the BMD-340 one used by Trampa. Same chipset (nrf52840) but I’m sure the antenna quality is different, planning to test a few different modules to see how this factors in.
The backplate is made of some form of fiberglass, non conductive so has decent RF-transparency.

so the signal could be stronger or weaker depending on how you hold it, correct?

Yes orientation dependent. In my opinion always expecting a user to hold remote a certain orientation with respect to the board is silly, so you need to consider the worst case orientation.
