Comment:

 We received two XOs here at 1cc:
 SHF 725002FF
 SHF 72500306

 Note that the first one is not in the list provided in #comment:2
 The second XO was not bootable and was reflashed to 625.

 Other than the above notes, they could ping each other at 175 meters in a
 parking lot near 1cc. They could possibly go farther, but we had no space.

 Please confirm that during your tests, both XOs were in the same channel.
 If they were one or two channels apart the symptoms would be very similar
 to what is described above.
