John Payne Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Timbo, I am considering getting some Spektrum gear, the DX7 plus a couple of other receivers to help move over completely to 2.4, and a comment in one of the earler posts made by you made me think. You said that you often have to wait a long time for the transmitter and receiver to lock together. Why is that? Not wishing to start a Futaba/Spektrum war, I have a Futabe 2.4 set and it is a matter of switch on and go. What am I missing? Is it to do with the different technologies used, and what is a long time? My apologies if I have misunderstood what you wrote. Thanks for the help. Cheers, John.

Tim Mackey Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi John... I think we need to keep things in perspective here... a long time? - maybe 4 or 5 seconds on average, and often quicker. The Spekky Tx has to first find 2 vacant channels, acquire and lock on to them, and then the Rx and Tx need to pair up their GUID. Its no big deal, and as i say...its often just a few seconds. Many people ( ill advisably ) do indeed just switch on and go...but I prefer to wait and actually see that the servos are actually responding before I move on.

John Payne Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 OK Timbo, thanks for the quick response. That clears it up. Now I can go ahead with Spektrum kit. Cheers, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
