Hi Stan it's not a simple system at all, so stick with it, I'm sure we can sort out the problems between us all.
You mentioned "remotes" ..... Plural. The RF60 flash has the receiver built in, so you only need one V6 on the camera, as Chris said in Tx mode. No V6 receivers are required. The channel and group is set directly on the RF60 flash.
Also don't worry about the camera flash modes .... They have no significance when using triggers. The only thing to be wary of on the camera is not to exceed 1/180th sec (this assumes you are using the older V6, not the V6II.

Hi Stan
Is the flash also on channel 1 ?
Also the trigger on the camera must be set to TX and the others if they have a flash connected to RD. I have one trigger I've set up with a yellow dot on so I always use this trigger on the camera, saves any hassle when I need them on a shoot.
I also switch the triggers on first then the flash as I've found on the odd occasion when I've done it the other way, it's not worked.
As far as I can see I have the triggers set to Group A and Ch1 and have tried the camera in all the modes through to Master and Controller without success. IIRC there was a way to trigger Pentax 360 without the small on camera flash operating but that is something else. On one of the Cactus triggers I get a message Dial Locked and can't seem to find any reference to that. I think I'm going to sit with a note book and write down what I do if I get it working. Maybe a project for the "Dark Nights". Even looking online I have to use ctrl and + to increase the manual to a readable size of font. Am just starting to use flash, for water splashes and the like as I don't get out and about for photography like I used too.
