Default JR 10X

JOHN,

What battery are you using for the receiver? Are you using a 5 cell 6 volt pack and if so with or with out a voltage regulator?

I had serious range problems with my 10x and 950s receiver using JR 1800ma 5 cell packs w/o a regulator. Going back to the standard 4 cell pack solved ALL my range problems. I plan on going to one of the large 1500 to 2000 ma 4 cell packs to eliminate the need for a regulator from now on.....

Just a thought---sounds dumb, but the JR systems seem not to like the higher non-regulated voltage on some of their receivers..
