Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
Hi guys,
I have been using my mx22 for the last few months and I am more than pleased with it, the software makes it easy and very straight forward to program, excellent radio, but now I would like to make the move to 2.4 and am considering the spektrum module for it, how many of you guys out there are using the spektrum module in there MX22s and how are they performing?

Just an Idea-Have you not thought of using Graupners own IPS 2.4 Modules and receivers?

RE: Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
I've recently converted my MX22 to 2.4 using the Spektrum module and have flown it in an EDF F16 using the AR6100 Rx and a 90 size heli using the AR7000 Rx, both without any issues. I've converted my Rookie and a 2m pattern model with 2.4 Rx's, but as yet they haven't flown. I've also modded the Tx to hide the coax cable, that looked a little vunerable running externally from the aerial to the module, as detailed in this thread.

I think motors and rotors have people who have done it, suggest you ask them.
I have a DX-7 spektrum inn electric helis and its been faultless.
We have club members with Spektrum DM9's in JR radios and all have been fine-the MX22 is basically the same radio isn't it?

RE: Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
Mart, I have been the spektrum module in my MX-22 for about 6 months and it has performed flawlessly. I also have the logger installed and have never had any fades or holds.
I have used the AR9000 in many Gas planes and AR6100 in electrics. I highly recommend the Spektrum module.

Yes we have sold quite a few Spektrum sets for the MX-22. No problems.
Paul, I think the deal is JR make the big number channel radios so I doubt there will be a 12 channel module that will work in the MX-22. The JR 12x has two sets of pins in the back where the module fits and if this carries over into the 12x 2.4 then only the MX-24 will work with it.

Plenty, just be aware that the aerials need keeping away from the tail pipe and any metal that could screen the little aerials

RE: Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
I was told also that the Spektrum may not be compatible with the MX22 in August of 2007. Since then I have completed approximately 25 hours of trouble free flying on both my MX22 radios equipped with the Spectrum modules.
I have flown sport models ( Electric and glow) Large aerobatic ( Up to 250cc petrol ) models and of course many jet flights. Not even one moment of doubt.

RE: Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
please have a look at the voltage bar! Perhaps you can test it. I only have noticed it casually!
It is not 100% compatible! and this is approved by a spektrum "dealer" in germany. Has something to do with the impuls length ... (that was told me)

I read your link, and yes there does seem to be an issue there, I wonder if this is happening to everyone using the spek mod in there mx-22 or have spektrum updated later modules, also I noticed that you said when you use the bind the problem goes, well the UK module I think puts out less power than other country's modules so I am wondering weather this would make any difference.

Graupner is the sole agent for all Spektrum modules and DX-7 units.
so how many models did you see fall out of the sky?
i fly this system since 2007 , i used it on all major airshows in germany.
no waiting , no swearing about people not returning their trannies for channel occupation..
just relaxing and fly..
you know what got me more worried?
i just received a letter from a well known manufacturer of radio,s. (not spektrum )
they have mistakenly send out "some" units with the id setting to 0 (transparent)(something like a big airshow with all people flying on channel 66)
this means basicly if 2 of 2,4 of these similar systems are at one place with both gid set to 0 funny things can happen.
ok i guess the chances are small , but it can occur.
secondly one should watch his model instead of starring at his trannie.
we have sold lots of spektrum kits to graupner owners and never had a issue.
this is something again spread by people who are against all novelty,s .
most of them are people who also hate pcm systems and praise the fm ppm zigzag stuff then a more modern system..
i love changes.
has one ever thought about the fact that 75% of all jet pilots fly Graupner (JR) , then Futaba and last MPX .
makes you wonder..

so we just await the new 2,4 modules?

No, as always the Graupner programming is different-but the RF is the same.
I'm not sure yet if we will be able to use the JR 2.4 module in the MX-24, it will certainly involve some case mods for an internal wire.

RE: Graupner MX22 & Spektrum Module
sandor! what the hell is your problem!
If a module (my Spektrum is a US Version) jams the tx, it is NOT OK!!!!!! it is perhaps only the voltage display but do you 100% know?
You are a bit silly to use this module on big airshows with your mx22. You maild me that you see the same voltage problem on your 2 mx22.
Everthing great! but how long!!!!
You have to change of the attitude regarding SAFETY!!
And Yes there is a new distributor in germany (JSB!!!!) And i got this information from a technical consultant. And he got this information from spektrum! OK!!!!!
