RE: Receiver swapping
Computer non computer tx makes no differance continual replacing the Rx will not affect Trims end points etc. As always those factors are only affected by the Tx and makes no differance how many times you may replace the Rx.
Yes of course you can do it and it will work but there are disavantages. One is continual plugging an unpluging of the plugs often done in a hurry and sometimes not so carefully. This can cause physical problems and damage of the plug pins themselves.
Two other problems is packaging. Packaging (of the electronic components) is always an important part of any installation. If we are planning to pull the rx all the time we now face the issue that is we may do a poor job of packaging the Rx in the name of simplicity.
Another issue is when you are using FM systems with a standard antenna. Packaging of this antenna becomes a big hassle each time and agine we may do a poor job of it in the name of quick chanege over.
So yes it works but my goal has always been to provide a decicated Rx for each and every airplane if at all possible.
