You've lost me I don't understend from your diagram how you achieve 18 channels?

Mick,

you can use 14 Channes "over" the PB and you can use "the rest" of the remaining 4 channels by using the RX itself.

Hi Philip

Why not run ''Hohe'', ''Wolb'' and ''Quer'' in matched ports A, B and C? The PB sockets are all independent so I'm not sure you're increasing your risk of anything failing? Just using up channels and having to resort to PWM channels...
Hi Schroedm,

I know, that is possible to "save" channels. I did not made it, because I need "only" 14. If you want to use crow with "Quer" (what I usually do) you have to split "Quer" and "Quer2" to seperate channels.

You only have 16 channels from the Rx where do you find the other two?

Hi Mick,

you are right, but I use the SBUS connection for the Powerbox. For these 14channels I do not need even 1 "normal" plug from the RX. So I have 18 channels (by using T-18 or FX32 only) from the TX minus 14 "over" SBUS and Powerbox. So I have a delt of 4 channesl. And for these 4 channels I will use the "normal" plug from the RX. I wrote it in picture (left RX).

It will be interesting to see if you get the reported fades with the 2x7008sb and powerbox that others are reporting. I may go with Fasst RXs with no telemetry.

I believe that the selection of the modes (ABC or D) is independent of the transmission model(FASSTest 12 or 18) that you select. It has to do with resolution and the level of telemetry you want.
