V6 <-> V6II Cant get them to comunicate??

photobill

I have (1) V6II and I just picked up (2) V6's . I cant get them to communicate with each other. (V6II to V6)

I have the V6II set to TX and the V6 to RX.

On my V6II I have firmware Pen.A.001 installed. On the V6 2.1.001 is installed.

I'm currently using a Pentax K3II. I'm not to worried about getting P-TTL.  If I need to change the firmware

on the V6II for it to communicate with the V6's it will not bother me. Mostly I do manual settings anyway.

The V6's  communicate perfectly with one another.

Thanks for any help

That is correct,

The current firmware on the V6 only works with V6 II running Multi-brand HSS, but not X-TTL firmware. 

To work trigger your existing V6 from your V6 II, you will have to install Multi-brand HSS firmware. 

At the moment we do not have a schedule for the release of new firmware on the V6.

Thank you.

Thanks Antonio

I have reinstalled firmware "Multi-brand HSS" on my V6II  and now they are getting along.
