Thank you for all the responses. A few things... This is the first batch of the fobs with the blinking lights or I wouldn't have even noticed they weren't working until I went to do a radio tune. I also tried to throw commands and it and it would't answer. Now it makes sense.
As far as allowing more than one node to connect. Just take the ,y off the end of the node in the node stanza.
I think I am going to convert the node over to a private node for now as well just to test. I won't have time until tonight to dog back into this, but I will let you know how I make out.
