Default RE: Binding w/Opto Kill Switch

ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me
How would swapping RXs affect anything,, the TX is where all the setting are stored,,, except apparently the Fail Safe in the JRs
That is the same way of thinking as when we used 72mHz. If you want to play that way, is up to you. I stand behind my statement, no matter what manufacturer you use.

The switch doesn't sense loss of signal to the RX, Because there is no loss of signal to servos or optikill switch in a fail safe scenario, it senses loss of RX power or what ever the Failsafe function tells it to do.
On loss of signal the received sets the output signals on each channel to the position programmed as part of the bind process. If is the failsafe position programmed for the channel the opto switch is on, the switch will be turned off.
That is the way I understand it. You program the failsafe to activate the kill switch on the event of a signal loss. But raptureboy said the following, and It did not make any sense. Maybe he does not know how failsafe and his switch work with each other. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it...

Must be a Spectrum thing, I fly airtronics and failsafe is a seperate function after binding. I'm using an Rxcel kill switch and it kills the engine on signal loss or tranmitter switch.
Whatever... lets go fly.....
