[NSRCA-discussion] FASST System

[george w. kennie]

Carl,
 I also had questions regarding the old antenna and Tony Stillman advised that there would be no adverse effects leaving the old antenna connected. I still switch back and forth between 72 and 2.4 and I fully extend the old antenna in order to achieve the correct support balance no matter which freq I'm utilizing ( so I won't get out of the habit when switching to 72).
I dont even position the 2.4 transmitter antenna where you would expect. It's positioned sideways under the Transmitter and I don't even have the receiver antennae at right angles inside the plane. I know it sounds like I'm doing everything wrong, but I've had it now for several months and not even a hint of a glitch. If I had all my planes converted to 2.4, I would still leave the old antenna attached for the good balance it provides, so my feeling is that you probably shouldn't be all that concerned. I think you'll be fine.

G.

  Carl,

   

  As others have stated, the instructions are referring to the transmitter antenna.  However, you don't actually need to remove the telescopic antenna from the transmitter, just collapse it and leave it in the collapsed position. The 2.4 GHz transmitter operation will work just fine with the telescoping antenna installed in the transmitter as long as it is collapsed.  My 9CAP transmitter is configured this way and I have experienced no problem with my Futaba 2.4 GHz system.

  I have question maybe some one can help with.

  I just bought a Futaba Spread Spectrum Module for a 9C Super.

   

  The instruction say to remove the transmitter.

  Do they mean the antenna Or the actual transmitter.

  If it is the transmitter, does it just unplug from something inside the transmitter case?

   

  Carl

  Actual Futaba instructions below.

   

  Attachment of the Module
  CAUTION
  Be sure to turn off the power of the transmitter before
  you install or replace the module.
  1 Ensure that the transmitter is set to the PPM (pulse
  position modulation) mode. Please consult the
  respective owner's manual for your particular transmitter
  for information on how to do so.
  2 W hile it is unlikely that the existing transmitter will
  interfere with the radio frequency transmission of
  the TM-7, we suggest removing it from the transmitter if
  possible as a precaution.
  3 Next, with the transmitter's power off, remove the
  existing transmitter module and install the TM-7
  module with care so that the connector pins of the
  transmitter won't be damaged.
