But can decode a stereo signal. 

yes. 

Looks like a very cool product (especially for an "introductory" price $1600), plus the very wide block range. Congrats to Glenn and company!

I'm very curious how long 4AA's will keep the thing running continuously. If they could really do 12 hours, that'd be fantastic.

yes 4 lithium batteries were giving somewhere around 12 hours

Battery life is as follows:

 

Lithium Ion 12 hours

NiMh           8.5 hours

Alkaline       7  hours

 

Since the unit will run from 4 to 18 volts I am going to try 4, 3.6 V rechargeable AA size batteries. This should be interesting.

No vents are required. The units power requirement is 1.5W so it does not need any ventilation and never gets hot.

This is one of the benefits of 12 Hour battery life.

Yeah, I will be ordering a couple of these soon. Way to go with the improved battery life. That was my #1 concern. Still with external powering option to boot. Very nice. New screen looks excellent from the photos.

funny that in the photo the 'on/off'switch is on the 'off' side while the display is 'on'

That particualr photo is a pre-release unit. The shipping units will operate as one would expect --- ON will be on and OFF will be off.

Works only in single mode...

i dont need dual mode in a camera link - although i have seen dual mode in camera link setups used in very clever ways. when i do see a need for it the 235 will always be here for that purpose. for some clients (really just 1 at this point) i still need record run tc where the 235 would serve that purpose. the return is another thing i dont need. i have never been satisfied with the fidelity from headphone ports. i would prefer a sennheiser g2 just for return mounted to the top of an rx200 if i felt i really needed return. I just placed an order as well for my rx200. see you in september! hopefully...

I'm hoping with the new style screen it will actually be easier to read. I really dont mind the screen size.  I always found the older style screens hard to read on both the receivers and the transmitters.

It's not about screen size so much for me as it is contrast. This is a very well lit, high contrast screen. I don't think it's too small from what I can see in the photos, however I have yet to hold a unit in person. Looks great to me.
