Apologies for bumping an old thread, hopefully my experience can help someone else.
i had a similar problem with an RTI, CNRFGWA and Pro2. Worked fine for a long time, then 2 days ago, all 3 CNRFGWA lights on, all the time. Swapped another CNRFGWA, same problem, all lights on.
Checked code, cabling...
Nothing I tried fixed the problem.
I remembered I also had FOB troubles with my car alarm that afternoon, which suggested interference of some sort.
Unfortunately, returning home the next day, the car alarm FOB worked fine, and the CNRFGWA activity LED was off.
The system worked exactly as it had before the problem arose.
I figure one of the neighbours has a ham radio or something like that, and its just flooding the 433mhz band and the CNRFGWA is picking up on it and freaking out.
Ill update this if it happens again, and I can figure out the source of interference.
(as a note, i live in a big house on a big section in the burbs, its not an inner city apartment)
Dan.

Yup. Your gateway is screwed. I used to see this reasonably frequently a
few years back - you'll need to send the GW back for repair/replacement.

My system at home: I replaced a C2N-CBD with a CNX-BF12. Existing wire,
didn't even change the Phoenix connectors. Now all of a sudden the
ML-500/600s on the CNRFGWA-418 stop chatting.
Disconnect CNX-BF12 Cresnet at the CNT-BLOCK end of the cable... no change.
Even with an ML-500 at 6", 18", and 3'.
Take antenna off CNRFGWA-418 and the ML-500 works within about 3' of the
gateway. Put antenna back on, goes back to not working.
An interesting observation is that the "SIGNAL" LED on the 433 CNRFGWA
right next to the -418 is clearly illuminated with I hit any button; the
"SIGNAL" LED on the -418 only flashes when I take the antenna off or
physically touch the ML-500 to the -418's antenna (in that case, though,
even though the signal usually LED comes on nothing seems to happen)
Making me scratch my head even more: Using Superdebugger is showing me
"something" being received by the gateway, but that's not triggering the
logic associated with the press in the program
E.g. press and release "Prev Ch" on the remote that should be RFID 20

Any ideas?
