Purpose of Side Port on AR636 Receiver?
I cannot find any literature on the purpose of the Side Port on the AR636 Receiver. I'am assuming it is for a Remote Antenna. Can anybody help me?

While we are at it then, here's another tidbit that isn't in the manual.
If you decide to add a remote receiver make sure it matches the protocol of the main receiver. I'm pretty sure that's a DSMX receiver (it will be marked) so make sure if you add one you get a DSMX remote to match.

Thank You Again Barracuda - Yes it is a DSMX Receiver, didnt know if TELEMTRY might also be plugged in that slot too. Lack of info in the Receiver Manual is unbelievable! By the way, at age 14 in florida on a deep sea fishing boat I caught a 33" Barracuda, we had it stuffed and the Razor Sharp teeth still remains a vivid memory!

Just looked at the AR636 receiver , The BIND port is labeled (BIND/PRG), and I was interested in Telemetry for Battery Voltage, but did not like that you had to splice into the battery wires to make that Voltage Telemetry connection. Isnt there a T-connector type plug that allows you to connect the Battery and the Voltage Telemetry through a T-connector of some sort. Do you by anychance know of a easier way then splicing?

Yes, the Ar636 has a dedicated data port out the other side from the remote antenna port.

One more old secret for an old thread. When adding a new or additional remote receiver to any Spektrum system, the system needs to be re-bound with the new remote receiver installed, so it recognizes it. That part isn't in any manual either that I know of. I often wonder how many remote receivers out there were just plugged in and never bound to the system... thereby just sitting there. You have to look for the red light on the remote rec.. if it's on you're good.. if there's no light on ... it's not bound.
