Frustrating, isn't it. After years of several of us making many suggestions for cool telemetry features to make it much more useful for actual flying, we get this. The dumbest possible thing. Well at least we got that...

Some of the third party guys have actually come up with some clever ways of handling the issue of telemetry alarms that are better handled by getting "armed" (e.g. low airspeed for a stall alarm, low turbine temperature for a flameout alarm) so they don't blare away while starting and taxiing .. or things that need to go off, get acknowledged and then shut off (e.g. fuel capacity). rcsense.com is one example as is Carsten's ASSI system where they worked around the Futaba limits. I sure wish someone from Futaba would get interested in this in a serious way. Isn't this what Team Futaba is for .. to advocate for the actual needs of flyers???
