there's your problem. If you are trying to receive clock, Sync=IN. (on 
both 
units). Why would you set it to Sync=out if you are trying to receive sync?

no, that's what you are supposed to do. BrotherSync works just fine with 
Sync=IN, Out, or OuS.

nope. We designed it to support all these cases transparently.

only if you get up to maybe 12 or more. I forget what the limit is but 
nobody ever reached it so far as I know. The sample clock sync doesn't 
work 
so well with multiple units, but usually that only matters for stereo. The 
BrotherSync part for jamming with multiple echoplexes should work fine.
