Ideas? Yes, indeed. I am very puzzled why you insist on laying the Tx virtually on top of the EGT probe. This is NOT a valid condition. When you are flying, the Tx is a long way from the probe. You are probably picking up some harmonics as well as overloading the ECU with a massive signal. Does the system work when you are standing 10 feet away with the Tx antenna down? If so, I see no problem here.

I think I pointed out before that I have some planes that go crazy when I lay the Tx antenna on the wing or fuse, and that this makes no difference at all in how they operate in normal situations. These planes range check just fine, and of course fly just fine.
