I got a plane that is set up with 6 servos and 3 gyros. The two elevator servos are combined on one channel so I figured I needed to get 5 (servo control) and 3 (gyro gain control) = 8 channel receiver. I got the R148DF but I only see 7 open ports and one that is marked 8/B. Is this receiver sufficient for my application? How do I hook up the battery and still use all 8 channels? Also, I think I read somewhere that the last channel on R149 is an on/off only channel. Does this also apply to channel 8 on R148? Can I still use this channel for gyro gain control if I wanted to control it by a two position switch and say that I wanted to assign 0 and 50% gain for the two switch positions.

I will be using this receiver with 9CAF radio.

You use a "Y" harness with the battery/switch lead on one side and the servo on the other. You can do that with any channel, really.

Thanks. That helps a lot.
So all 8 channels are fully adjustable (as opposed to on/off channel)? Is it also true for r149?

Actually, I would guess it depends more upon the TX than the RX. If the TX has a switch it's on/off, if it has a pot it's proportional. On some TX's it is assignable.


Oops, sorry BAX, forgot this wasn't open forum.

The transmitter determines whether a channel is on/off or fully-proportional, not the receiver.
