2.4Ghz radio control

We already know this. Was posted a while back from the same source Geoff had it, our Aussie cousins.

Think you guys should read this first:-

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ml/slyp091/slyp091.pdfhttp://focus.ti.com/lit/ml/slyp091/slyp091.pdf

Extract of first paragraph says it all:

The evolution of battery-powered, handheld RF equipment has demanded ever-increasing battery life, which translates into higher efficiency requirements in the power supply. In some designs these efficiency improvements have been achieved by migrating from linear to switching supplies. Highly efficient stateof-the-art modulation schemes place stringent requirements on distortion and adjacent channel interference, which mandates that careful attention be paid to all noise sources, particularly those that are conducted throughout the power-supply system. This topic discusses noise generation and suppression in switched-mode and linear regulators as well as techniques to manage noise in portable battery-powered RF systems.

Basically if anyone does this they should be banned from using them at FRA Events, as it will invalidate the approvals for this set and has a high risk off causing interrferance outside the allocated band, There is usually a good reason for doing what they do and its not just about cost saving.

Thank you for the warning Mark, i didnt know this.

Geoff/Kane/John, the powerplug on your DX6, is it the same configuration as the ones for your other transmitters? In short, can i use my normal charger for my DX6? This one came with an american one.

Leo,
You can use your normal charger if you do the following....

Right,

Ive finally got round to putting the transmitter on charge.

Being from the US, the supplied power adapter is 120v input US type plug... To make things difficult, the barrel plug is centre pin negative. You can use a futaba power supply providing you do the following:

1. Open Tx casing (six screws)
2. Locate charging socket
3. desolder 2 wires from charging socket
4. resolder 2 wires to charging socket in reverse

And now its charging...

I saw the diagram on the charger and immediatly i suspected something like that, but i wasnt sure. Thank you.

[grant_ploughbot]

or to save any rouble with the transmitter, swap round the wires in the charger!

[leorcc]

That is bound or me to make a mistake since i will keep on using my Robbe TXs also.

For now i indeed swapped the charger wires, but i think i will have to redo them in the TX.

also from kane

the 2 switches on either side if u just get a button switch on a lead and you can have a budy FIRE button very easy

[leorcc]

Maybe its because im so used to nimh, but the standard TX battery seems to drop in voltage quite quickly. Is there a better batterypack available as a direct swap?

Anyone had any troubles setting up the mixing? Been looking through the manual and it sais find mix WNG from the menue after pressing scroll and increase simultaniously.

Carnt see mix WNG in the menue...

If anyone knows what im doing wrong let me know.
