I think I have figured out the main communication gap you are having. Your console (the Status) only supports 48 control channels. Those 48 channels correspond to 48 faders. A console like Express (and most newer consoles) support more control channels than they have physical faders. So you can patch a dimmer into a channel that doesn't have a fader and then call that channel with the keypad. Call dimmers alone is possible, but you can't write them into cues or subs without first patching them into a channel.
Precisely.
[user]venuetech[/user], I think he said all the new batteries keep dieing also. This leads me to believe the console has a bad chip which is causing excessive battery draw.
