PPM is one of the protocol that they provide(EXbus,UDI, PPM, SBUS).....yes it’s old but some stuff like quad’s (older board) only Work with PPM, and I’m currently using PPM from a R3 into a R7 Assit that’s connected to a CB200 via Exbus (this is a dual path setup) In 2 of my Jets.

I think warbird is asking if it is spread spectrum/freq hopping/freq lock, etc...?

Jeti uses frequency hoping. And they call it duplex. “EX bus” is what Jeti calls the radio wave that is frequency hoping!

yes i was. i'd like to see the wave chart . I know DMSS was a very robust protocol At the peaks the the wave flattened out thus a better lock than skektrums sharp peaks. if that makes sense .

JR DMSS, Jeti, and a few other systems share the same basic wireless protocol. The data sent is unique to each brand.

More on packets than what you are asking for, and firmware updates seem to be addressing their concerns..

Goose and F1Rocket!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!

I have never set up flaps easier than I just did with your suggestion.

Smooth as silk and I couldn’t be any happier! I’m tickled orange pocka dots it was so easy to set everything up!!

And using function control for the slats was just as easy. You guys killed it.

Yes it's form of DMSS

that's very good news. despite JR being a former competitor no one can deny DMSS is one of the best,most robust protocol's on the market.to jeti's credit, thay take it to the next level with the 900mhz system as well.

Happy to be able to help.
The system is so flexible and there are so many ways to do things it can be a bit of a challenge at first. But once you begin to grasp the basics you will actually have fun setting up your airplane

FYI, another way to operate the slats would be to setup a 4 flap wing in Basic Properties. Then use 2 of the 4 “flaps” to control the slats. These can now be set independently in the Butterfly menu.

Glad to hear you are using flight modes.... One of the beauties of the system..

However, the Mspeed call out is made with a "point" for the decimal. So 85.5 mph is called out as "eighty five point five". I do not want or need the decimal call. Is there any way to remove the "point five" and just get the call with whole numbers?
I can not find any menu choice to tailor the Speed calls. Some on suggested a LUA app but I have no clue how that works.

Has anyone any idea how to make the speed call outs just whole numbers?
Thanks, Gary
I did it different way, I have Alarm assigned to the speed. An example if I hit 20mph system says 20mph, 25 -25....
With constant telemetry talking it gets very confusing very fast.

I would love to be able to do this as well. I use constant velocity calls out to gauge my speed at base and final approach, resulting in good landings.

Screw the speed call outs all together and turn them off completely. Use the vario function in the transmitter instead. You can assign any sensor you like to the Vario function, not just altitude for sailplanes.This allows you to define an approach speed range and the Vario will remain completely silent if you are at an ideal approach speed, a rising tone if you're too fast and a falling tone if you're too slow. Much simpler and way less distracting than listening to your transmitter jabbering air speeds at you constantly.

Wayne, I tried this once, but could not get used to the tones. My actual ideal speed will vary depending if I'm in base or final, so will have to figure out how to deal with that. May try that one more time.

I set mine up as a stick shaker on the throttle. only active when gear is down and full flaps. I have it 10 mph above stall (did this several times with voice call out to find where that point is) and works much better than voice speed call outs, as it was too distracting especially when flying with others. Now my approach speeds are much more consistent.

Zb, This is where Im going with the Mspeed. I just tried it out last weekend and got 8 more flights on the F-16. I got a pretty good idea of the speed I need in the final turn and on final and got my eyes calibrated with it. A couple of more times and I plan to assign an alarm for too slow and too fast and turn off the constant numbers. Just listening to the callouts made my approaches and landings more consistent and I did not get too slow like I did a couple of times the first time out before installing the Mspeed.
Thanks, Gary

I plan to tie it to full flaps only, which I put out just before the final turn

Setting up a KingTech smoke pump for the first time.....can seem to get it to work, when I plug the battery she goes full bore, tried a switch, slider and tried a mix...nothing seem to control the embedded ESC......anybody care to help me with this?

1. Set ATv to 80%, Make sure you check the servo monitor to see if its controlling the output on the Jeti channel.
2. Maybe try reversing the servo lead.. I think the ground on the servo lead is to the right as you look at the back, but Im not sure.
3. No more than a 2 cell Lipo on the power.. Dont use the Kingtech turbine battery to power the smoke pump..

If that doesnt work, take it out and try a servo driver to get it working.. it should be a variable speed

What I did on mine is tap off the multiplex wire on the central box, so my receiver batt feeds it..

Another newb question regarding range checking, I know I can put the tx into a "range check" mode, but do I look at my Q values, A values too, or is making sure that I have control most important? As important? Less important?

i just received my first CB200 with the magnetic switch and i was wondering if anyone can tell how you mounted yours? it looks like you can pop the top portion / cover off and mount the switch portion under or behind either a board or on the backside of the fuse,drill the two holes out and mount the cover on the top side of a board or on the outside of the fuse. or does it not come apart ? thank WB_1
