@DaveF  Happy for you.  Mine is going back, and depending on how that goes I will probably just have to look at other equipment.

@Rockmoney the seller has not responded to my PM sent here, and calling the phone number listed just says "user busy."

@sidehack  Just to rule out the Ubuntu 18.04 industrial computer that works fine with the newpac,  but gets the chip errors with the R606, I got out a Dell Windows7 laptop.  Installed the latest build and the R606 fails in exactly the same manner.  Completely different hardware and different O/S.

Going to give @Rockmoney another couple hours, then just hit the return all button and be done with it.
