- I had a sportster 33.6 that exhibited the same connection problems. I
- discovered that it would only work when it was cold. At room temp it
- would connect for maybe 30 seconds right after I turned it on, then it
- would not connect again. If I put it in the freezer for half an hour
- it would work perfectly for about 5 minutes. USR (via Keating Tech
- here in Canada) is sending me a replacement.
