gpicard5 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 So I have the G70 and (2) Transmitters. The past 4 gigs I have played I have had dropouts. At minimum I have had 3 dropouts in a 4 set night. At maximum I've had about 12. The dropouts last anywhere from a split second to up to 2 seconds. In addition, the range seems to be VERY short. I HAVE UPDATED THE SOFTWARE on the Receiver and both Transmitters. I have also used the Clear Channel scan and I am NOT using the "Sleep" mode on the Transmitters. The units are about 4 months old and have had issues since day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eklynx Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I would make sure you're in RF1 mode; they're probably set to RF2 out of the box. RF2 is more for the situations where you can control the environment and need to squeeze out an extra couple of channels 'plays well with others' mode, and RF1 is more of the 'we need to be heard and will push through the crowd more' mode.

gpicard5 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Can you please elaborate what you mean? Can't find anything detailing RF1 / RF2 anywhere in manuals etc... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eklynx Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I just realized you said G70, i was thinking the XD70 (microphone, not guitar). Not sure if they have a distinction between RF modes. I'd look at the placement of the receiver; make sure it's not next to anything that causes lots of radio wave interference. Examples: If you use IEMs, avoid putting the IEM transmitter next to the G70 receiver, and keep the receiver as far from power supplies as you can; all the AC/DC conversions can make lots of extra noise. Also, I personally like the put the transmitter in a pouch and attach it to the guitar strap; keeps it away from the body and clothes that may also wreck havoc with the signals. These are suggestions in how to improve the connection. I wouldn't expect it to be cutting out at all if you're 10-20 or so feet away, though, so if it's happening while you're close to the receiver, not sure. Is it on a pedalboard with other stuff or just out in the open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpicard5 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Have the receiver on a pedalboard with at least 3" of separation on all sides. Use 2 transmitters both in neotech pouches on straps. Dropouts happen in multiple venues with both transmitters which makes me suspect the receiver is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticat1 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just bought a G70 less than a month ago. I played one gig with it and i had drop out issues. I googled the problem and it led to me to this forum. However, the posts in the forum were from 2014 and 2015. I'm wondering if I will need to download the patch that is mentioned from those posts (firmware version 1.03) or should this have been fixed in this newer unit. Also, I noticed a firmware version 1.04 there as well. Can anyone please advise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munger77 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I have the same problem as Acousticat1, and I need help because I am past the date of return to Guitar Center. Anyone? I've been using Line 6 products since buying the AX212 tubetone amp for $1200 in 2000. This is not like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuhajla Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Open a support ticket with Line 6 so they can address it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
