I have a PCM 10X Heli radio, and am attempting to mix aux-3 to aux-2 to get the gyro (code-44) control output to show up on channel 7 for use on a micro heli with a 6 channel RX. I have 100% mix set up in on Mix 51, but what I get is not a mix of the output of Aux-3, but a mix of the position of the Aux-3 switch, which is not actually controlling the Aux-3 channel. Is there a possible mix to get the OUTPUT of Aux-3 to show up on Aux-2 as well?

The easiest way to set up the gyro on channel 7 would be to either use travel adjust, or set up a program mix, mixing channel 7 to channel 7, activate aux 2 in code 17, store an offset in the mix, then re-inhibit aux 2, then assign the mix to the switch or FM of your choice and set the rates of the mix to set the gain.

So, that implies that what I want to do is not possible? Every other heli I own is running with enough channels to use code-44, and I really don't want that many different setups, if I can
avoid it . . . .

There isn't a direct way to program the gyro function to command another channel. I would recommend setting it up as described above.

Actually, the workaround I had come up with was to mix aux3 to aux2, and vary either the endpoints of 2 or the mix percentages, and that way, (since I use code 44 controlled by the rudder d/r switch) it drops out in the same place anyhoo. Found this by accident by noting that it was mixing the switch input and not the channel output.

Thanks anyhow - this is what I suspectesd, but just wanted to be sure by asking the "guru"
