Thanks Mike. I am beginning to think you are correct that it is a hardware problem. Poor luck on my part in purchasing two devices specifically only for this task that are incompatible 
I also tested the pedal with the HP x360. The pedal always disconnected after 13 slow flashes.
I tried changing the Windows Bluetooth Services to start from manually to automatic, hoping it might allow the pedal to reconnect very quickly and provide a temporary workaround, but to no avail.
I tried Airturn Direct mode with the Linx tablet. Although it identified the Airturn pedal in MobileSheets settings when scanning for the pedal it failed to connect to the pedal.
I tried to bypass the inbuilt Bluetooth by using a USB Bluetooth 4.0 dongle, but the TOSHIBA RFBus driver fails to work in Windows Device Manager, despite having the latest driver version. I have ordered a BT5 USB dongle and I am waiting for that to arrive.
The pedal does work with a friend's Android tablet, and also his HP laptop (255 G4) computer running Windows 10.
I think it is the hardware in both the Linx and HP x360, rather than any Windows OS settings at this point.
I did manage to connect in Airturn Direct Mode using the HP x360, and Mode 1 of the Airturn DUO BT500 pedal, but the blue banner in the bottom right hand corner of MobileSheets kept indicating a disconnection after about 15 seconds before attempting a reconnection again.
Unless there are any other ideas, I am now hoping the USB Bluetooth 5 dongle, when it arrives, might offer a workaround. Or are there any USB wired pedals recommended?
