Default Which would you consider more reliable??

Tower Hobbies ESV MkII or the readout on the Futaba 9C screen regarding transmitter battery voltage. When my 9C indicates 10.2 volts the Tower ESV reads 9.8 volts.

Thanks for your opinions.

laryboy,

Per Annmarie Cross' User's Guide to the 9C, there is no diode in the transmitter.

Tower Hobbies electronics (Hobbico) - +/- 0.5 volts or so, depending on the temperature, humidity, phase of the moon etc. etc.
