Zack Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I use a QRX IFB antenna on mine and just point in downward along the side of the nomad, no special mods needed so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I use the ambient antenna that's sold for their wireless timecode boxes. Small reduction in range but make no difference if you are only sending timecode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominiquegreffard Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 SMA to SMA right angle: Smart and simple. I should i have thought of that. Anywhere online i could order a shorter version antenna? I bet it doesnt have to be either ifb100 or ambient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Spaeth Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Just a testimonial: upgraded my Nomad 8 to a 12 recently, and today I recorded 10 tracks (5 hard wired condensers and 5 wireless, no mix). About an hour of continuous recording, mirrored to the producer's USB stick, and everything worked perfectly. So much potential on this machine!

Jack Norflus Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 5.16 - and it was a job. I'm a brave man I know... 5.16 has been very stable - perhaps the most stable version. If there are no issues with it - Howy can then finally finish Auto-Mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally am able to turn my 8 into a 12 and now Zaxcom quoted me almost double what the price was only a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Zaxcom had a special promo on upgrades that ran from Nov 1 thru Dec 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameronlenart Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Try holding the STOP key while booting to reset your settings to factory defaults. If that does hot help, you could send me a short video from your cell phone to howard att zaxcom etc.... -howy This solved the issue....thanks Howy!

fieldmixer Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Is 5.16 considered more stable than 4.45? What differences would one notice on a nomad10 if one were to "upgrade" from 4.45 to 5.16? Never noticed any issues with 4.45. If it ain't broke don't upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed any issues with 4.45. If it ain't broke don't upgrade? I've been using 4.45 and it has been totally stable for me too, not quite sure on 5.16 yet for the same reasons.

Max Hirtenstein Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Had 3 12-hour days on 5.16 so far, no probs. There's a new log screen so if you do end up having an issue, you can see what caused it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between 4.45 and 5.16 is primarly MP3/USB support. Fixes to minor bugs, If you are good with 4.45 - like you said if at ain't broke...

I believe 4.45 has USB support for mirroring, just no mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Liston Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Once again Jack, I think you have the best working Nomad. I have had mine for a year and a half now and I would say that multi knob is way too loud still. I hear the damn thing in recordings all the time. And yes I do the lean to side thing. I really wish I could fly around the menus while rolling to double (triple) check settings and enter Meta Data. I was recently comparing mine to a mate's, and his was loud as well. Instead I sit starring at the Nomad in terror that it will lock up or the blue ball destroy the take. I sure wish there was a Bright Screen Mod type thing for that button. I've had my nomad for about a year and a half. Though I believe the pots were quiet after a couple of months. And its not like it would be noisy one day and quiet the next. It is something that gets slightly quieter every day till one day you don't notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Woodcock Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 My button has worn in its virtually silent.<br /><br />I had issues with 4.20 around there with that firmware but apart from that it has all been smooth sailing for my Nomad 12 as well.<br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
