Blew $800 on a load cell setup that never worked right

I bought a fancy wireless load cell system from some outfit out of Texas six months ago to get accurate picks from the cab. It kept dropping signal mid-lift and the calibration numbers were all over the place - cost me more time than it saved. Anyone else ditch wireless and stick with hardwired?

Ditched a wireless setup from a Colorado outfit last year for the same reason. Hardwired is just way more reliable, no signal drops messing up your lift data.

Wait, you actually had that same issue with the calibration bouncing around? I used to swear by wireless stuff because I liked the clean look in the cab and no cables to trip over. But honestly, after fighting with mine for three months, I totally get why you went back to hardwired. The signal drop was maddening, especially when you're trying to track a heavy pick and the numbers just disappear. I tried everything from different receivers to switching batteries, nothing fixed it. Hardwired is just plug and play, no fuss. I finally gave up on the fancy stuff and now I'm back to a simple cable setup and I'm way happier with it.
