Pass-through not working with Pentax AF201FG

With the V6II on the Pentax K1 hotshoe it will trigger a Pentax AF540FGZ II on top as well as an AF201FG remotely on a second V6II. Both flash settings are set to Pentax Auto. If I swop the speedlights over the pass-through doesn't fire the AF201FG on the transmitter even after switching everything off and back on. Even setting the transmitter to pass-through doesn't get a result. Any ideas?

    Does it happen to all its Manual setting including M(full) and M(1/4)?

    The AF201FG should be set to its AUTO output, as this is the mode via which Cactus transceiver communicates with the flashes.
  • The flash is set to Auto and it fires from the Cactus test button. When pressing the shutter button it won't fire in TX mode but it will in RX mode.
  • We may need to figure it out in latter firmware updates. At the time the most recent firmware released, the AF201FG has still not been released in the market. We might examine the compatibility with this flash in latter firmware updates. Meanwhile, please use AF201FG off camera.
