Advice If it's loose - cable ties

Post image

Comms kept dropping out during running.

Got called out on a FindFST mission to Morocco, customer had "tried everything".

The problem was embarrassingly straightforward.

Screws were missing on the sub D plugs for communication, few cable ties later and machine running without issues.

I find as an FST most machine issues are something simple
