G'day
Some questions if I may.
1. Which way have you got the transmitter antenna oriented?
2. Which way have you got the receiver antennae oriented?
3. Receiver battery sizes and types and voltage?
4. Are there any metallic objects closer than one inch to any antenna?
5. Did the lockouts happen in the same place on the field?
I have been using a Spektrum DX7 for a couple of years now and never had any problems. I have been using a Hitec Optic 6 2.4 for about 1 year with no problems and I have a JR 2610 with a Fly Dream 2.4 module in it and it has been fine for about a year. The only problem I have had in the last year has been at a fly in and I had a clash with another 36 meg radio.
To me it seems that your transmitter is the common link but if you are using the same sorts of batteries, then that may be a problem or there may be some RF problem at your site but if there is, others should be having problems too.
Right on my man. I found an exposed metal rod, I covered it with rubber tubbing. Today I took the plane to the field and the most experienced pilot flew it without brownouts.
Problem solved, really cheap and quick.
Thx to everyone
