<DIV>The Futaba module system has a small button on the back of the TX module
you depress while you are doing the range check. It lowers the output
signal so you can test the range easily. I think other 2.4G systems use
similar techniques.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey, how do you range check a 2.4GHz system since you can't put the
antenna down? Do they have a low power mode or something like that?

However, unless you know what you are doing (think Tony Stillman

<DIV>Hey, good point. As you know, removing the antenna from a
9z is anything but fun. I've been waiting for the TM-14 module
for my 12Z. The antenna unscrews and stores right in the
case.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think it's funny that someone would go to these lengths
(cobbed up install of a Spektrum moduel in a 9Z) to try and improve
"reliability" . Is that what is really going to happen? All
that cobbery has got to outweigh any "advantage" of using 2.4GHz. As
a matter of fact I saw a plane with 2.4GHz stuff (Spektrum) crash a
few weeks ago due to - you guessed it - radio problems. I'm not sure
of the exact cause but since I know the owner my guess would be
either an improperly installed antenna or weak Rx batteries.
The plane went in at full throttle because he didn't set the fail
safe up correctly either. Some people just don't get it...</DIV>
