Buddy Box Question !!!!!!
Hi,

the buddy box needs nothing, and what ever you do do not turn the switch on!!!!! to avoid even the slightest possibility remove the battery,

Highlander is correct. The students transmitter does not need an antenna, crystal, or a battery. So in answer to your questions, leave the students transmitter off and the antenna down.

Congrats on JUST GETTING the right cable for the new style plug to connect to an old style.
It took me about 4 weeks of waiting to finally get the right one. had to finally order it from a heli place - the only place that routinely stocked buddy cords for 9C transmitters that have the same fitting as the 6EXA.
