[NSRCA-discussion] Radio Issue

[Troy Newman]

Last time the module was in for service?

 

Last time the TX was in for service?

 

Over time the module output can weaken. It usually comes from running
the TX in the shop without the antenna on it...this causes the module to
heat up...reducing the life of the output transistor.

 

But if you radio has not been in for service in those 8yrs its well past
time. I usually send my TX's in every other year for service. They check
it and make sure nothing is a problem.

 

 

I think the newer synth modules are better on the heat issue without the
antenna, but it's still a matter of time of prolonged use. 

What module do you have in it....do you have another module to use?

Hi Everyone,

 

        I have a serious problem with my radio and I was wondering if
anyone has any experience with this.

 

 

        I have a JR 10X that has performed flawlessly for 8 years.  It
is 72mhz with a top JR receiver. Today while flying it went into
failsafe mode twice.  It only faded for a split second and then came
back. It never lost battery power, so I reasoned that it 's not the
battery, voltage reg or switch. I assume it must be the transmitter,
receiver or antennae.  I can put another receiver in it, but the only
way to test is to put the plane in the air.

 

        How would I know if it is the transmitter?  BTW, range checking
on the ground with the motor running turned up nothing. 

 

 

TIA, Steve
