This may as well be a misconfiguration in your config file, like
setting wrong flash timings.

I cannot confirm this. On contrary. Abatron's support is one  of  the
best  I've  ever  seen,  and I have seen a few. And of course you can
send messages in  English  to  support@abatron.ch,  and  you  do  get
replies.  And  they  do  answer  the phone (in German and in English,
too).

Hm... we have about 15 such devices in daily use. I don't doubt  your
report, but you must have had really bad luck. This is NOT the normal
situation with Abatron or the BDI.
