Actually, I believe the RR1 receivers locked and saved their last setting and applied it again when they were turned on again. I used the RR1 with an eBay separate trigger system, and I know that if I merely turned the receivers on and fired the lights with the eBay trigger without even touching the control unit, the lights were still at the same setting as before. So I believe the trigger was separate from the control even in the RR1.



OK - I'll have to test this. I'm not sure how the RR1 receivers would save the settings once they are turned off. In any case, I found the RR1 receivers wouldn't always change the power of the lights even when I changed the settings on the transmitter. They are somewhat "flaky" to say the least. (Maybe I shouldn't say that as I will be trying to sell my two RR1 transmitters and 8 receivers.)

Update - I just tried out the RR1 with a B1600. You are correct that it somehow stores the power information. Although I didn't try turning off the receiver for a length of time. I first turned the power all the way down via the transmitter. Then I unplugged the receiver and turned it off. Then I turned the light off and back on. I pressed the red button and fired it at full power (where it was set on the back.) Then I turned on the receiver, plugged it into the head, it flashed when I did this. Then I pressed the red button and it flashed at the low power - without me touching the transmitter. But the bad thing was that increasing the power on the transmitter didn't do anything until I got nearly to full power. Then it started to work again. This is one of those flaky things I don't understand. The CC system is better.
