Oooh. Thanks for that info, guys. I havn't got a connecting socket for the tx batt (charger plugs into tx), so 'll just cycle it by leaving the tranny on until it starts beeping then recharge it. I guess you can do this with the tx, but not with the rx, which the really what I bought the cycler for.
You can go to the site listed below to see how to bypass the diode you have in your TX. I've jumpered across all my TX diodes and have never had any problems. Now you will have problems if you reverse polarity going into the charge jack. Just be careful here and you won't have any problems.

If you decide not to bypass the diode and let the TX drain while being turned on, make sure you fully extend the antenna. The final amps could over-heat due to VSWR from a collapsed antenna.
