RE: Do I need more channels??
Mike,
Already been down this road .. the MPDX-1 can only be used with channel 11 or 12. This makes sense if you think about it .. it has to encode 8 channels of full propo information (presumably serially) into the channel it takes over, and DG1 and DG2 are only on/off.
A strict reading of the 6014 HS manual says that when the data jumper is installed to enable 11 and 12 to be MPDX-1 "multipropo" channels, that BOTH 11 and 12 are not usable as normal channels.
I have my MPDX-1 in channel 12, and at least from empirical testing, channel 11 still functions normally. I've been meaning to ask the Futaba guys about this...for now I won't use it.
