Yes they were on the same channel, 1 tx 1 rx or 2 - 2 etc and the lights went red then green on both, had brand new duracell batteries installed and a brand new CR2 in the tx. I thought the AF160 would fire, set to M which I assume is manual, it's only got two pins, a center and other pin. I have a pair of Phottix Strato (Canon) which work just fine but an additional Rx is £47 (Strato II)and not sure if it would be compatible with the Tx.

Thanks for the info Steven. I have the Yongnuo Tx & Rx but couldn't get them to work with Pentax AF160 (M), AF360FGZ or 400FTZ but that could be down to me I could trigger the camera with the Rx plugged in so there is a signal. At the moment a friend has them to try out with his Nikon so hope to get the results from him tomorrow night. Must check the settings on the flash and try again

I used them to buy flash triggers can't remember the brand, I can check later. Cotswold were fine to deal with quick delivery, items well packed and worked fine. The only problem I have is that occasionally at shutter speeds of 1/180 there is I sometimes get partial black shutter curtain on images. I seem to remember the triggers to be rated at 1/250. Never had a problem using 1/125, I'm no stobist expert so this may not be an issue with my triggers.
Thanks for that. Would appreciate if you could tell me which triggers you got, were they for nikon or canon, and which flashguns you used.

I've tried to keep the images in appropriate "albums" but some of the subjects have fitted two so it's just a guess where they could end up

Just repaired my sister's laptop, a 4yr old Toshiba Satellite L35. On switching on it would show the initial Toshiba screen but not respond to the F2 or F12 key presses but would then go to a blank screen with a static cursor at top left. This laptop had only ever been run from the mains.
Switched laptop off. Removed power lead. Removed the battery. Plugged into the mains booted up. Problem solved. A new battery will be about £15 from Amazon but for the amount of time the laptop is used is hardly worth buying.
