I decided to buy a few more 2.4 receivers ditch 35mhz and do the internal cable mod to the module/tx and its a lot neater and the aerial is it the right place

Tony I don't want a higher gain just the ability to have the aerial in the same place as the newer JR modulesMartin they do supply a aerial but you have to remove the stock aerial and fit a dummy in its place and the 2.4ghz fits on that + you have the problem of the wire dangling on the backhttp://rc-sailing.blogspot.com/2009/01/futaba-9c-with-spektrum-24ghz-dm8-fut.htmla lot of USA users are doing this but as they are higher power than us RF would be more of an issue for RF interference  but it might help with any range issues

so it makes it easier to swap modules between 35mhz and 2.4ghz until I get rid of all my 35mhz, then I will do the internal aerial mod and fit the 2.4ghz permanently

will adding an aerial from a WiFi router on the back of the module affect the range?I have tried indoors and its ok was hoping for better weather to try a long range check

seem like all the ones I have behave the same AR7000 Ar6200 AR500 so you could be right

dam just found this should have googled a bit better If the receiver is turned on first (except for the AR500, AR6100 and the AR7100 receivers), all servos except for the throttle will be driven to their preset failsafe positions set during binding Note: When using the AR500, AR6100 or the AR7100, if the receiver is turned on first, no output pulses are sent to any channels.

Hi I have decided to ditch my DX7 transmitter and buy a DM8 module for my FF9 it binds OK but if I turn the TX off the servos just loose power, its the same on both a AR6200 & AR500 receivers, I thought the fail-safe should power the servos back to the bound position?Kevin
