Hi,

Have you tried to redo the calibration on the erratic subreceiver? It's now
been a long time since I did this, but I had to do mine three times before
it came out right. The 2 first times I had a dead zone like you do. It's
very important to make sure the frequency is spot on as the instructions
call for a very narrow bandwidth to be used.
