I\'m not Vawill84, but since he\'s three time zones ahead of us, and probably in bed by now, I\'ll take the liberty of answering part of the question for him.

The original Radio Poppers (the PX system) worked by mounting a transmitter on top of the Master flash\'s head in such a way that it picked up the electromagnetic field generated when the flash fired its command and control preflashes, and it then translated those signals to radio signals, which were picked up by PX receivers and converted back into light that was guided to the Slave flash\'s sensor.

Since the PX transmitter was simply translating and rebroadcasting the Master flash unit\'s instructions, anything the Master was capable of (High Speed Sync, Rear Curtain Sync, etc.), the PX was capable of.

Radio Popper now has another system, the JrX system, that has a radio transmitter that mounts directly to the camera. It\'s similar to the original Pocket Wizards in that respect, but with the ability to manually adjust the power of the slave flashes via the appropriate receiver (and in the case of Speedlites, an RPCube accessory).

Here\'s a link for more information:
