[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba 14mz and compact flash card

[Claude Weimer]

My question isn't about the card but about the antenna length on the R5014
receiver. There was an article in RCU about cutting the antenna length to
21.6" to solve intermittent holds. Then I read something from Futaba that
you should not cut the antenna, you should tighten any metal or carbon
vibration to solve the problem. A friend bought a new radio with that
receiver and it has the shortened antenna. So my question is if Futaba is
shipping new receivers with the shorter antenna then why would they
recommend not cutting the antenna? Holds no matter how short, unnerve me to
the point of not wanting to fly the airplane. I have been using 1024
receivers with the 14mz radio.

Only as a bench test.  I had this 2 gig card for a camera, and popped it in.
It all seemed to work just fine.  Saved settings, recalled settings, much
more room for tunes, etc.  Didn't test to see if there was a problem with a
large number of files on the card - possible the MZ itself can't display
beyond a certain number.
The system doesn't need the card except as storage space - so if the saved
planes read in to the radio fine, I wouldn't expect any issues.  From the
test, I will experiment once the temperature gets more reasonable for
flying.  Minus 10 last night.....

Has anyone tried a compact flash card in their 14mz other than the factory 
supplied 32MB compact flash card ??
TIA.....Ed M.
