Default Rpm sensor for electronic ignition

I'm getting parts together to do a 110 Rascal with a gas engine that has an tach output lead.

I could have sworn Specktrum had a way to attach that to the telemetry module, but now can't find it?

I thought it would be cleaner and more elegant than the optical rpm sensor...

look up the Spektrum SPMA9569 and see if that's what you're after.

The Spektrum SPMA9569 will work in some circumstances but not others.

It works just fine on my NGH GT17 with a front carb but due to the way it functions (mounts on the rear of the engine) it will not work on my rear-carb DLE-20.

What a number of us are waiting for it an interface that will plug into an electronic ignition tachometer output. I did see a schematic that some guy was going to build using some opto-isolators but I never saw if he was able to test his design. Many electronic ignition modules either have a tach output or a  "Y" can be installed in the hall effect wiring.

I'm hoping that Spektrum will release a product that will do this.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping was out there.

I just read through a thread on a different forum (FG) about this issue.

Although Horizon told someone something they thought would work (but didn't), I haven't found an answer yet.

One would think that it would make a great add-on for Spektrum.

If you do a search over at that other forum for "DLE-30v2 tachometer feed" you can find the schematic I mentioned earlier. (it is supposed to work with the Graupner Hott telemetry module).
