Hello
I really like the look of the new Jeti DC-16 TX. Has anybody used it for turbines - or other models - and what is the verdict?

I have it and have been using it with my pattern planes nd scale models. There are two extensive threads on it on RCG where the US distributor is active and helpful. This radio is, in a word, excellent. Quality is outstanding, very flexible, you can move switches around easily and the software will instantly recognize what switch te is where, you can add stick tip switches as well, and so forth. Programming is quite intuitive, I recently set up a 14 channel scale Messerschmitt and was. Loan away at how easy it was to program, adding functions is very very easy, mapping functions to one or more servo channels is trivial, and there are 16 free mixes in addition to things like butterfly, etc. mixes can be linear or curved on up to 7 (or more, I can't recall off the top of my head) point curves, as well as kicking in at X>, X<, absolute value of X, etc curves.

When you get into the whole Jeti universe of equipment (RX, ESC, sensors, etc) the thing really begins to shine, as everything is programmable and you can program every device from the screen of the Jeti radio (no extra programming cards/dongles/stick manipulation a needed). Telemetry is built into everything from the start, and telemetry downlink is at 20-80% of the TX power (depending on the RX). So when the radio warns you 'signal lost' it's saying it can't hear the RX anymore, so you have time to get the plane coming back toward you before you fly out of TX range. You can set up alarms based on telemetry conditions (I.e. capacity used > some value) and have it report the current value to you with voice output.

That's just scratching the surface of this radio's capabilities! It's worth every penny!

Oh! And since this is a jet forum, the DC16 has TWO transmitters which can be bound to two distinct receivers controlling the same model in a variety of configurations ranging from two independent receivers controlling the same servos and if one loses signal or otherwise dies the other takes over to different servos being driven off different receivers to one being a clone of the other and effectively acting as a satellite RX providing all its inputs to the primary RX for processing.

Hi Guys,

I have the DC16 for half a year now. What can i say -> just awesome. Before i had the MC24 from graupner. Was very good too, but you cannot really compare it to the DC-16 [8D]. I took me only 1 hour to fully programm my F16 without really knowing the DC-16. I like my DC-16 and its possibilities :-)

best regards
