There are other ways to do it, especially with the telemetry that some radios now have, that wouldn't infringe on Spektrum's patent. I'm surprised no one has done it, since it is such an obvious nice to have.</span><br>

<div><font face="Calibri">If I understand how it works, it seems like it may not
be a very robust way to differentiate one model from the next. Since it is
looking for a specific pulse width that you would assign to a channel that is
otherwise unused, you would need to be certain that the channel's lever or
switch endpoint is definitely unique on each model. If you
inadvertently change that, you could potentially think you were covered, but
might not be. It's better than nothing for sure, but not
foolproof.</font></div>

DSM's model match for Futaba and other 2.4 ghz systems, alerting you if you turn
on your transmitter and you don't have the right plane selected in your model
memory. It plugs into an unused (or even used) channel of your receiver
and looks for a particular subtrim value on that channel on power up. You
set each model to a different value. It has a botton on it to memorize the
value for a particular model. It it doesn't match, it emits a continuous
beep. If it matches, it gives two short beeps.</span></div>

<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: small" class="Apple-style-span">The only issue is the
price, $29.95 for one. While that is a lot cheaper than a new airplane,
I'd imagine that someone like Ed Alt could do it cheaper.</span></div>
