[HUG ] Re: any ELX experts out there?

details-

Using pocket wizard tranceiver on Hasselblad 553 ELX, set to channel #1.
Firing via another transmitter set to channel #1

1) Flash port -> to 5 pin din plug to trigger 553 elx blad
press test button on transmitter--> camera fires

2) Then additional hooked PC port from lens to  camera/flash port on
pocket wizard trancsiver (ie, relay mode)
press test button --> nada. Camera does not trigger
 (light on tranceiver does show it received signal)

3) Unhook 5 pin din cable to camera.
Trigger camera manually -- PC port on lens triggers tranceiver which
will fire a strobe elsewhere on channel #1.


So -- wiring works to fire camera remotely.
wiring works to fire distance strobe from PC port on lens.
But relay mode will not work.
I tried flip/flopping the ports on the pocket wizard. still no effect.
Interestingly, I tried PC-> hotshoe rig to try to use the hotshoe on
the pocketwizard for relay mode. same effect. camera won't fire.
You can manually overide 'relay' mode. But I haven't.
Even tried another transceiver unit. Same behavior.

hope that makes sense to someone out there! Where is the bug in the system?
