Naza won't calibrate

Long time DJI user, but this is my first Naza. I've had a Wookong for ages now, and never had this issue.

I just replaced a CC3D board on my FPV quad with a brand new Naza. Everything worked great before the swap and I was doing 40+mph dive bombs and pulling them out within a foot of the ground. Needless to say, I should have left it alone, but I wanted to try a Naza on there so I could have GPS option if I wanted it.

I successfully transplanted the Naza into the quad after removing the CC3D board. Now I can't get it to calibrate properly. Every time I try, it ends with flashing red lights indicating an error. I've tried this in the house first, so then moved out to the yard before finally taking it to the local high school and going out in the middle of the field... all ending in an error. Mind you the wookong will take the calibration every time, even in the basement workshop.

Anyone else have any issue like this?

To make matters even worse, I ignored it at first and did a few test hovers.. everything seemed great. Now as soon as I put my goggles on to try some FPV, it started jumping all over the place rather violently. I think the problems are connected, but either way I just need to get it calibrated first before moving on to further troubleshooting.

Kilby - I was having troubles a whole back doing the NAZA dance. Figured out that my cell phone in my pocket and watch on my wrist had a drastic effect on my calibration. When I do it now, with NAZA or WKM - I do it in the middle of nowhere half naked. Well not really half naked but you get the idea. Sorry for the visual.

Further out in the field.
No really, nekkid.
Leave the radio w a buddy while you walk out nekkid to the other other field. Shout at buddy and wave arms nonsensically.
Have buddy Toggle semi rapidly between manual and GPS (despite what the manual says - toggle Manual/Atti I believe) and STOP on Manual.
Toggle = not machine gun, not 1-1thousand, 2-1 thousand. More like dot,dot, dot, Think morse code operator.
Toggle immediately on powerup. If it doesn't take, disconnect battery, rinse and repeat.
Do the circles slower than you think you should and go a wee bit further than a full 360 - think 370-375. Wait for the light to move to the next circle.
Remember..nekkid.

Nice idea if you can persuade a Sports Illustrated model to do the "Naza Dance" for you :)
