Shared BATT/CH Ports?
I'm, just getting back into the hobby after 15 years absense.
Back when I was active, a 7 channel Rx would have ports for channels 1-7 W/a separate BATT port. Now I see 7 channel RX W/servo ports for channels 1-6 W/a 7th port marked BATT/CH7
I am assuming that one uses a "Y" harness to connect both the BATT & CH7 servo to this common port?
I am setting up a glider W/a Hitec Micro 05S 5 channel RX. In this RX the 5th channel is actually BATT/CH6. I am wanting to set up flaperons W/my Hitec Prism 7X Tx. If the shared port "Y" harness set-up is correct, then as above, I plug in the battery & CH6 servo via a "Y" harness?

You can connect a Y Harness to any of the servo ports, including the shared port. Also, Rx batteries can be connected to any of these ports, as well. For those who like Redundant Rx batteries, this is common.

Correct, this has been the case with all known receivers for many years, in fact batteries
can be "Y" into any servo port..:
Optima Transceiver (RX) - Dual or Multiple Batteries may be installed
............ Avoid Brownout & Add Redundancy, even one for each servo.
Refer to the the Hitec 555 manual (copy attached)for use with extra channels,
also on my webpageunder
"Radio Systems, Accessories, Alterations and FAQ." at:
Alan's Hobby, Model & RC FAQ Web Links
the 555 can be extended to 8 channels.
