From the Phottix web site:

"In manual mode you can use two flashes together."

From that and the posted reviews, looks like you can use a single flash in TTL, but if you use more than one, you need to put them both in M mode to keep them from cross-talking to each other through the cord and freaking out.

Ditch the cable and use Nikon CLS?

I have a Phottix duo cable and want to fire two sb-700 or an sb-700 and an sb-800, the problem is the flashes start firing like crazy when I put them both on. Just one is OK, but two, and it's like a lightning storm.

Anyone have this setup and get it to work?
