Antenna fades—represents the loss of a bit of information on that specific
antenna. Typically it’s normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades
during a flight. If any single antenna experiences over 500 fades in a single
flight, the antenna should be repositioned in the aircraft to optimize the RF link.
Frame loss—represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers.
If the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less
than 20. A hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes
about one second. If a hold occurs during a flight, it’s important to evaluate the
system, moving the antennas to different locations and or checking to be sure
the transmitter and receivers are all working correctly.
Note: A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to be plugged
in more conveniently. On some models, the Flight Log can be plugged in,
attached and left on the model using double-sided tape. Mounting the Flight
Log conveniently to the side frame is common with helicopters.
ModelMatch ™
Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a patent pending feature called
ModelMatch. ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a model using
the wrong model memory, potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch
each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and during the binding
process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when the system is
turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding
model memory is programmed on screen.
Note: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to
be sure the correct model memory is selected in the transmitter. Please note
that the DX5e and Aircraft Modules do not have ModelMatch.
Tips on Using Spektrum 2.4GHz
While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to operate, functioning
nearly identically to 72MHz systems, following are a few common questions
from customers.
Q: Which do I turn on first, the transmitter or the receiver?
A: It doesn’t matter, although it is suggested to turn the transmitter on first.
If the receiver is turned on first, the throttle channel doesn’t put out a pulse
position at this time, preventing the arming of electronic speed controllers,
or in the case of an engine powered aircraft, the throttle servo remains in its
current position. When the transmitter is then turned on, the receiver that was
previously bound to the transmitter scans the band and finds the GUID (Globally
Unique Identifier code) stored during binding. The system then connects and
operates normally. If the transmitter is turned on first, the transmitter begins
transmission, and then when the receiver is turned on, it scans the 2.4GHz
