Re: DSM for dummys?
I just sourced a hobby zone champ RTF radio so I have an X10EMTX rf board I can use as a donor. Is this one of the low power modules? If so is there a known range limit on these? Let's put it this way. The Champ radio has enough range for the Champ if you don't fly it to the visual limit. This is n...

Re: 9X Radio
The mode 1 version of the 9x at LeadersHobby is $5 cheaper than the mode 2. Unfortunately, it's still $15 more expensive than last week. The wait list is shorter for mode 1 as well.

Re: Expo programing
I was able to get it by fiddling with the buttons but a write up for noobes would be great. This Tx does a lot but sure is complicated. 8-) Actually, it's really fairly simple once you get it. If you want complicated, try doing non-standard things with a transmitter that claims to make things simpl...

Re: LiFe Battery Pack
If you want to use the wall wart charger, you can make up an 8 cell pack of Rayovac pre charged AAcells, using the connecter from the battery holder that comes with the 9x. I paid $14 at Walmart for eight cells. At 2000 mAh, it will take about 24 hours of charging, but not needed often. Pre charged ...

Re: Hobbico Any-Link 2.4 module
I see the 9x is not listed in their compatibility table! To use the Any-Link module with a 9x, presumably you simply have to remove the existing module (or do the trainer mod by adding a resistor). It would use the JR/Spektrum cable into the trainer port. Is there an issue of channel order? The nati...

Re: hk backlight mod
I think somebody should update/correct the wiki. The Backlight mod part is totally false information. The HK backlight draws much LESS current, not more than the EL panel. The HobbyKing listing shows current draw as 60-90 mA, which is indeed far more than the EL panel. If this is wrong, say so in a...

Re: 9x Compatible Modules -- Spektrum
Fitting a Spektrum DM9 module to the 9x poses some problems because the pins on the 9x a re slightly shorter than those on a real JR transmitter. With mine, the module works only if I push it in and up and hold it there. I'm sure it could be made to work, perhaps by finding some longer pins. I've ha...

Re: Suggestion: Display TX battery & telemetry voltage in %
another option. maybe it could aternate (couple of seconds one and then the other) between voltage and percentage.. but all this would have to be selectable.. João This is a good idea. I like the idea of a realistic display of capacity remaining, but I also want to know the voltage. So it needs to ...

Re: Intermittent reboots
I had the same problem with a REV2 smartieparts board (compounded by the fact that my 9x had a V1 board). Steven was extremely helpful and did more than I expected to set things right. So give him a chance to help.

Re: DSM2 work
He said "Standard ER9x", not "Standard 9x", so I think you're out of luck with the regular firmware if that's what you meant.
