Hey Lee, I did your "swamp" test today with my new Rx and 2 different Tx modules. Both passed with exceptional range, but the brand new module blew the old one out of the water. Then I did an antenna down turbine off range check and got over 500' (tired of wallking) with no "lock-out". No all I have to do is the antenna up, turbine off/turbine running checks and off I go.
Thanks for the great info. and real-world checks.

Sounds like your doing it right ---------- one other thing that can be done to ensure a "Best case" RF link at all times is the use of dual receiver battery packs. Just plug two in with separate switches and turn both switches on before flight. Use a Y connector if your out of open receiver ports. On any port. A matched set of Batteries is nice, say two 1500ma packs or larger --------. What brand of radio are we talking about? Just curious --------
Good Luck
