    I have 2 ERF modules. one connected to a 20X2, and the other connected to a 20M2. It seems that when an ERF is powered-up it transmits. I am using these routines and can see the rcv data on the serial terminal. Is this normal? Can it be prevented? Thank you, JimS EDIT...probably a good reason to...

    set erf to N4800

    I have 2 ERF modules that I want to drive at N4800.. Will be driving one with a 20M2 and the other with a 20x2. The documentation says that ERF will always be N9600 after a power-up cycle. Can I change this so they will always be N4800 after a power-up sequence? I've done searches on the FORUM...
