oilyamps -> Spectra Module Question (4/10/2008 3:19:23 AM)

I have just bought one of these, and I see the frequency selection switches are on the side, thereby requiring the module to be removed to change frequency. I am a bit concerned that the contacts will lose tension after a few months use if the frequency is changed a minimum of twice per weekend through the removal to change the freq. Have any problems become apparent?
Thanks,
Adrian

By removal to change the frequency, I understand you mean the plastic tabs on the module case.
A number of your 36 MHz modules have been sold locally and I personally change between at least 2-3 modules several times weekly, especially during demonstrations, and have not yet broken a tab in past 8+ years. In need, replacement cases are available as shown HPF-M RF Module Case .

Thanks Alan, I was worried about intermittent contact with the connecting pins to the module....IE, will the transmitter become unreliable due to a contact going intermittent.
I hadn't thought about the securing clips! just the electrical contacts. I had a similar effect in a similar situation with other rc gear a while back.

Have not seen nor had any problem referred for correction to date, relating to the connecting pins in either the Eclipse or the Optic 6.

OK thanks Alan, that's encouraging.
