Thanks for the flow on that Mike. Mentally I tied it to the telemetry from the RX.

Back to that telemetry and SWR issue.

Just seems wrong that it requires telemetry from the RX to tell me about my TX. Just makes no sense period.

That's it for me today. I'll try to go through: OpenTX Getting Started Part1.pdf (1.45 MiB) Downloaded 103 times Reference Section 1, The Basics.pdf (1.12 MiB) Downloaded 68 times Reference Section 2, General Edit.pdf (2.7 MiB) Downloaded 59 times in the next few days if I have time. and the and How...

pg 53 section 3b Not sure if this matters. I think most of the US guys think "antenna" not aerial. I just halted when I read it. Antennas are packed with xXR's so that might be a consideration. Not my call. The data logging also logs the joystick, slider and switch positions on the transmi...

This data can be stored on the transmitters SD card, and downloaded to a computer using a USB cable and Bootlogger mode

pg 48 section 3b This drop down box offers a range of units. Conversion is carried out automatically if the unit is acceptable alternative for the default unit. i.e. mph can be changed to km/h, but not volts, although the units shown appear to have changed. Now the truth comes out. I was really inte...

somewhere back, back back, I read another similar description of RSSI, perhaps you could do a search for it. I think you didn't describe the "I".

This one is right

RSSI
RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator
from pg 47

It's probably okay or correct, I just stumbled when I read

section 3b pg 46

Although sensors will appear, the values might not appear straight away. GPS data takes several minutes

right away or immediately

PG 42 section 3b

"Calculated" virtual sensors can be manually created to combine values or extract extra data. Values can be added, averaged or multiplied, the minimum or maximum of a set of up to 4 values van be extracted.

can?

PG 41: This is better than sliced bread! I knew there should be a way to do that. BUT it might be mentioned that this is only one line at a time OR, if possible the old Click/Shift to grab a bunch of them all at once. I don't know if that's possible, just got excited with cut and past from another m...

Assign a switch to this and with the control surfaces set as required for failsafe, simply pressing this switch will store their values. This particular feature if for...

This is a little off center but you might lead some light on it for me. SWR: I've been an electronic tech for 60 years and it always meant Standing Wave Ratio of the RF output to the antenna. So I see it's a telemetry option, and / or it comes from the receiver, some result there. My first stumble a...
