Default RE: Failed Range Check 2.4 Spectrum

I use 1 JR HD switch and 1 Mpi Deans arming switch on all 3 of my gas planes.
I am using Spektrum receivers with a DX8 and have not had any problems.
I turn the JR switch on first to do my preflight check and then I put in the
deans arming plug.The only way for the arming switch to fail is for the arming plug to fall out or
have a wire break.I have very little voltage drop now that I installed the
arming switch.All my voltage test are done by watching the receiver voltage
on my DX8 telemetry,this way I know exactly what the voltage is at the receiver,not
at the charge plug to the battery.Also try to use as few connections as you can from
battery to receiver.Every connection has some resistance causing voltage drop.
Hope this helps you out
