I had the exact same problem.

MY THEORY:

Sadly, the RF chip cannot communicate with the pulse properly in both 07 and 08 due to position of the chip whilst inside the limited spaced grip.

On the 05 there is loads of room to put it and little in the way of the RF signal to the Pulse, in the 07 / 08 the signal seems to be much weaker when it gets to the pulse.

I spent about 2 hours trying to find a good position in the grip but it never worked 100% of the time (when leaned to the right it stopped sometimes, when pointed down it stopped etc...)

Long story short I bought a new hopper. :)

Hopefully what I have said can be proved (as it is a theory and not fact! :)) wrong but if you bring the RF chip out of the grip and position it under the loader it works 10/10, its only when its in the grip where it works 50% of the time.

Hope this helps,

mush

Never had any problems with my 07 and the RF chip.

Try different batteries in both the pulse and the 08,Procell seem to be the 'daddy' 0f 9V's

take chip out and put it next to the loader like I said, thats what made me decided the signal was too weak.
