I have ordered urgent improvements to the antenna tuning by the RF developer. No CC user will get stuck with this sort of performance but this cannot be fixed with firmware, rather it will require our shipping a no cost replacement unit once improvements are made.
Along with improving the range/reliability of the CC, I strongly suggest doing something to improve the durability of the plastic screen. Perhaps moving to the same material used on the iPod/iPhone would do the trick. As it is, my CC is beginning to show mars & scratches after minimal use. I wouldn't care if the price went up to cover the add'l expense.
fyi - I went out this morning with an Einstein (with CSXCV), Beauty Dish, CC and CST, and duplicated yesterday's experience. It's becoming rather clear that the reliability of the CC/CSXCV combination is inversely proportional to the distance between the two devices, at least when there's a beauty dish involved. At distances beyond 15', the CSXCV would not respond to power changes coming from the CC, and I had to press the CC's trigger button 5 or more times just to get the Einstein to fire once; it fired every time when triggered by the CST.
