RE: Spread Spectrum Compatibility With Old Buddy Boxes
A new member brought his Avistar and Spread Spektrum DX6i radio to the field yesterday. I brought out the club's JR buddy box and cord. The buddy box was charged up.
I connected the cord to the Spread Spektrum radio and to the JR buddy box. The volt meter on the JR buddy box went to the green without turning it on.
The Spread Spektrum radio was sending signals to the receiver, but when the trainer switch was toggled the JR buddy box did not work.
The Spread Spektrum instructions were vague regarding the trainer function. It did mention that the buddy box needs the same capabilities as the master transmitter.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Will the new member have to buy another Spread Spektrum transmitter?
Thanks,
Mike
