Broken Radius?

[deersniper]

Anyone have a radius start to work correctly? It ranges and then doesn't get any return for a bunch of hits, then it will work again. Then no hits, etc. Thanks

I have not. I've had mine since December 2017 ... and it even held zero for about 5 months, while I had it on one specific rifle. So far, the Radius is functionally equivalent to the RAPTAR, which cost 8 times as much!
I wonder if the problem could be the pressure switch?

I just tried mine and had an intermittent behavior symptom and changed the batteries and intermittent behavior symptom went away.

Noted... keep fresh batteries in unit

The battery indicator showed that power remained ... but none-the-less ... changing the batteries improved the behavior. This is the second battery change, since the initial batteries where installed.

I've got two. Use both on multiple platforms, repeatedly changing "zeros" back and forth with the aid of witness marks I have painted on both the elevation and windage knobs and counting rotations of each from an established baseline. No ranging on operational issues noted to date after numerous mount/dis-mount sequences while hunting morning/evening/night during several trips over the past two years. i take the precaution of removing batteries from each unit during periods of non-use.

The unit does the same thing on auto range. But changing the battery's is always good advice. Will try that. Thanks.

You should be able to compare function between pressure pad and the "power/range" button on the unit, to rule out pressure pad mal function.

This does raise the issue of "what do we do if a pressure pad breaks?" ... I wonder if // how long // we will be able to get replacements?

And in my experience, I've had a number of other pressure pads fail ... pressure pads do not seem to be among the more reliable components.

I already had a bad pressure pad. They sent me a new one immediately. Wish they would have used standard pads like the peq2s use.

All pressure pads are fake news.
