Totally understand. After 30 years of plugging in 1 servo for 1 channel it took awhile to get used to the idea of up to 5 servos per channel on 1 wire. But after you understand it is amazing. I can now run all my gear door servos on 1 channel but Im able to adjust each one separately. On my spektrum that would of took 3 channels.

Well in my haste to help i misspoke . airman you are right. i didn't realize that with xbus, channel numbers don't matter unless your talking pwm ports. you learn something new everyday. i just spoke to a Team JR person and he confirmed what you said . i apologize WB_1

Check the xbus section 5-22. It mentions the 731 and 031"Infinity". But it says those two only support 17 channels. My post earlier was to say that I believe that is wrong in the manual, and that these two also support 28 channels.

I'm so disappointed that it won't work with DSM2 and DSMX Rx's. I have too many of them to replace just to use this Tx. I currently have a 12X and don't need more than 12 channels but it would be really great to have the telemetry....not to mention its fun to have a top of the line anything. The DX18 doesn't really appeal to me but seems to be my only choice if I want the telemetry.....

Too bad, the 28X looks beautiful.....

Hey Bob, buy an XG14 with a 7 channel receiver combo on DMSS and you get your telemetry of course, but you also can slowly change over your models to the new radio over time. The receivers are half the price of the DSM2 stuff and support telemetry out of the box. Change the DSM receivers out as they fail. Radios get old, batteries in them die, step up to the new stuff cost effectively over time. Just a thought

I was glad to hear the 031bx receiver worked up to 28 on the bench. If it can see the channels, odds on it will work. Be interesting for a JR Rep with experience on this subject to chime in with accurate information on why they wrote they don't work in the manual. It would be good to know the why of it all. It might work great down here, but some gremlin shows up in the later channels after time.....who knows.

If I get time this weekend I'm going to go over to a friend's house and between the two of us I think we have enough harnesses to set up a infinity on 28 channels.
Bob it took a month but I sold all my spektrum stuff on rcu and ebay. Had over a dozen receivers and a 18qq. It's a nice feeling knowing all my equipment is new.

Set my P51 up today. A breeze to do. Plan on doing my Extra 300 tomorrow with the big hub with 4 deans output s using pwm convertor s for now till I get the nx servos for my Sbach342.

i second that. the DMSS is way more robust than DSMX anyways , and muzz is right , the receivers have a great price. i buy all my JR stuff through ibcinyourc.com. mike is really good . i got my 28x through him.i had in two days.

does anyone know if you can use custom sound files for alerts. i thought it would be cool if ,while flying a jet, and the timer got near 0 that the voice could say " Bing Fuel - Bingo Fuel "

Would be be interested in the results. I only have enough gear to get to 23. Just makes no sense that the infinity Rx would be limited to 17 channels.

I tried to load model files from my xg11 but it said incompatible file format. Guess I have to start from scratch.

⿟⿟Customizable audio and vibration alerts
Another great feature of the JR 28X is an audio controller, which you
can use for voice, music and telemetry notifications. These audio and
vibration notifications can also be customized as you see fit.

Loaded some music and photos onto the sd card. Removed the foam insert behind the radio and used this to stow away the charger cord.

To be fair the only persons who know the answers are the programmers/designers, they should know the limitations of their designs!

I agree JC but, when someone makes a clear cut statement like that, I expect he has some evidence? If it's true, I might consider purchasing, if it's BS, well.....

Cheers
