Receiver "ON" indicator
Hi, Saw a nice little accessory today.
It's a little red/blinking indicator light that tell when the receiver is on. The plane I saw it on had the light in the cockpit, could be placed elsewhere I'm sure.
Only has one light not several and it's in
the $25 price range.
Anyone know who make/sells this particular one??
Tnx
Ray

Hi, Many Thanks, that's the exact unit I saw. I did ask the name of the unit but
forgot it by the time I got back home.
See why I could really use one of these?
Tnx Agn

Just went to the Ace site and thought I'd
take a look at those also. Darned if I can
find them.
I'll give it another try later.
Tnx

Guys, if you go to radio shack and get an LED (they have blinking and steady burn) in the 5v range you can solder it to a regular lead for your type of radio. Then plug it into any open channel on your receiver and it will let you know when the system is on. Might cost you a whole $1.50 .
Look for the ultra brite LED's , they show up better in bright sunlight.
