When I press the range test (prog) button on the transmitter module, the led turns solid red. when I release the button it goes back to flickering green.

i really appreciate your help - this is exactly how my module behaves too. so this info that flickering rapidly green is indicating range test mode is nonsense.
on the multiplex evo XPS module actually brings out 2 control buttons to the transmitter outside which i can use to BIND and PROG. so for binding i just need to hold this button doen and turn on and the module is in binding mode and the PROG if i hold it down when turning on puts it in RANGE testt mode (but in this case LED still flickers fast green).
bottom line is from your testing my module works as yours
so when you do range test can you remove the antenna easily as recommended by the manual?
finally i could remove the antenna but have not done the range test yet. i came across your last years response on the XDP RSSI testing , very helpful. i have also a JR XPS module and it is roughly giving me same db readout. main difference it hat i need to bring my multiplex ver close to the XDP to perform the binding whereas the JR (optic6) module binds from 2 ft away.
can you run the TxDiag program? i can bind but after that i am not able to connect to the transmitter.
i am using windows 11.
thanks
