With a small hint by Chis Moon I got Dave and Reeves squared away.
You select code 87 timer function.
select down t (for down timer)
scroll to Start: select SPS0.
Now, what is SPS0? I stands for "stick position switch". This is a nice capability that allows you to turn stuff on and off with the stick position.
To activate this SPS0, go to the System Mode (holding the ent while turning on the tx)
Scroll over to 91 (STK PosSw) and change INH to THRO. Its already set up to POS 0 on when stick is moved to high (turns on the timer when throttle is moved past half throttle). You can adjust anywhere on the stick you want the timer to start, but this is the default setup.
No, go back to code 87. scroll down and set your time (default is 10 minutes).
If you want the timer to start when you advance the throttle, and not pause when you move below half throttle (i.e., stay on all the time) then scroll down to "One Time: OFF" and select "OFF" to "ON". Now basically when you plug in your battery or if glow, when you start your motor, the timer won't activate until you go past half throttle (like engine run up or during takeoff). You will hear it beep and its starts counting down at that time, with no other action required on the pilot's part. No more timer buttons to forget to press.
Regards,
Don
P.S. A great contest going on at Winston Salem... Battling it out in Sportsma
n, Intermediate Masters and FAI with very few (zero points in one case) separating the leaders. finals are tomorrow.
Check out the posts on RCU for details.

I found another good use for the second timer…
Getting older we tend to forget things, like retracting the flaps after takeoff! So my second timer is set to count down from 30 seconds and starts/stops with the flap switch.
Now my transmitter reminds me to retract the flaps after takeoff when I forget.

Yep Dave,
I got you covered. Let me take care of some stuff this morning and I'll
tell you exactly how to set it up. It can be setup two ways. First every
time your throttle stick comes down below a certain point it can turn
off. So it's like a power on timers for say electric. Or it can work as
a one-time deal where the very first time you advance the throttle past
a certain spot the timer starts and will keep going after regardless of
throttle position.
I also run two timers. One is a 8min sequence time I start as the one
time....throttle up. Before I start the motor I do the throttle up and
start the timer. This is like a flown round under the time limit. Have
to complete the last figure before the 8mins is up.
Next is another timer that I start with another button, that tells when
it is time to land for fuel.
Works out really well on the 12X you can setup 2 totally independent
timers, and have them activated the same way or differently and there
are several options for the timers that were not included in previous JR
radios.
I'll let you know today and explain he timer functions.

I'
m having trouble figuring out how to use the 12X timer function like I
want. I'd like a countdown alarm function to start the first time I
advance to full throttle after turning on. Anyone know if this can be
done and how to set it up?
Thanks,
Dave Burton.
