Anybody out there?
I have my timer set to turn on and off via the throttle stick. I have it set to give me periodic beeps as it counts down through the minutes.
Unfortunately it beeps every time I kill the throttle and then again when I advance the throttle up again.
Is there anyway around this so that I can here the timer countdown beeps but no the on off switch beeps? VERY Annoying.

Thanks for your help Dave. Yes you are missing something. I want the timer to turn on when I advance, AND turn off when I bring back to idle. Every radio I have used for 20 years does that. I am VERY used to it.
Of course this radio does it too, but it also makes that on and off beep every time.

Thanks Dave. I think a lot of people are like you. But I got used to this way. I am going to forget to turn the timer on for sure. I am 50 now and my mind ain't what it used to be. Plus, I have always be the impulsive type that is not that great at following a set routine regardless of distraction.

I have my timer set to "trigger" with "gear up" no need to remember, also I use Trigger so that when I put the gear down the timer is still running until I reset it or turn tx off.

Considering a 28X
Hi Everyone,
looks like not much is happening on 28X, can anyone post your typical jet setup with JR28X, RX, Xbus, etc for like a typical F15/F18 setup. I am considering upgrading from 12X like to see what would a typical setup be like, I have a classic flash and SM F4 and F15.

Setup for F-15 as example
JR 28X
712BX Receiver
2-port XBus converter for each wing (1 aileron, 1 flap)
2-port XBus converter for each side of the tail (1 elevator, 1 rudder)
4-port XBus converter for other functions (1 nosewheel, 1 retract valve, 1 brake, 1 speed brake)
4 port XBus converter for engines (1 port for each engine throttle, 1 port for each engine start/stop channel).
1 XBus central hub to connect everything to the receiver. This has inputs for all the converters and batteries/switches.
Keep in mind, if you're running XBus native servos, you can get rid of all of the converters except for the ones connecting to the engine/ECU functions.

JR 28X Trouble :(
Hi Guys,I've just been stung real bad 
..So I purchased a 28X from a guy in Australia (Second hand) who said the radio was in good condition.. when it finally arrived however this was not the case.
The top left 3 way toggle switch was completely broken, and the aerial was also broken off in 3 places.Initially the radio powered on , however it was getting channel interference all over the place from the broken switch (I could hear it beeping when I gave the radio a shake ) probably from the broken switch.Eventually the touch screen interfaces hung completely, so I pulled the pack in an attempt to reset, and now its completely dead. it will not turn on at all , and I'm stuck with a $2K brick door stop Of course the seller is adamant it was in good condition when he shipped... no surprises there.I've contacted JR Americas service centre , however haven't had a response. I see that Horizon no longer offer repair for JR either , so now I'm stumped as to where I can send this unit. I'm happy to pay for the repair.Does anyone have any ideas??Second question.. Does anyone know if this radio has a fuse on-board? What should the voltage of the on-board CR2302 be?Has anyone with any technical knowledge opened one of these up and can tell me some of the things to check please? I fear I will not be likely able to get any repair services from where I am.Any help much appreciated.Cheers

JR america's does servicing. There are some stipulations that the item in need of service be bought from certain vendors (i.e. NOT hobby king or JR japan e.g.)
Service Center :: JR Americas
Good Luck.

Doubt JR America's is the place for you to send it. Off their website: JR Americas does not offer repairs on items that were purchased from a non-authorized JR Americas Retailer. This includes both warranty and non-warranty repairs. JR Americas distribution territory includes North America, South America and the Caribbean.

If if your Tx is dead, reinstall the battery, ensure you reconnect the temperature connector , and charge, using ONLY the supplied JR charger for the 28x.
I don't know if it has a fuse as does the 12x.
The 28x is a superb radio, so good luck with your repair.
