Hey guys. I just added 2 48in t5's to supplement my two xr30's. The problem is that as soon as I turn the t5's on my radions turn off and I have to reprogram them to get them to turn back on. Its not a power issue because im using separate outlets. Its almost like the ballast for the t5's is somehow interfering with the radions. The t5's are in a separate fixture and only turn the radions off when they get within a foot from them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Apparently the buttons on the radion didnt agree with t5 ballast. Disabling the buttons solved issue
 
Make sure that no objects (metal or otherwise) are near the Radion buttons
• If interference continues, you may have external RF interference. You can
disable the Radion buttons to avoid this problem. To disable the Radion
buttons, right-click on the Connection Manager icon in the system tray and
disable the buttons for one or all Radion devices.
Odd.....
