Oh, did you hack the boards to flip between 900mhz and 1800mhz by
simply flashing the firmware, does the flex1800 allow for that out of
the box?

I had to mod my flex900 boards to be able to do it, and if you aren't
proficient at it at soldering and cutting a trace on a circuit board,
you wind up with junk.

Did you get your rig working?
