Thanks but it seems a little bit on the high side which is 167 Degrees Fahrenheit This temperature all the wires are melted .I did not have my telemetry temperature on Before but I will switch it on and monitor it next Time.

I'm interested on DS12 deluxe is there any talk about them.

Tks.

No way! That is well below the boiling point of water so if your wires melt at that temp they must be made of wax!

there is far more jeti talk on the radio forum at rc groups

Ok, will check it out.

Thanks H.

Interesting. I was a long-time Futaba user and recall this coming up before when the 6014 receiver was new. When exposed to direct sunlight as in the current CB discussion, it got hot enough to shut down. There was a lengthy discussion here Futaba 6014 receiver heat issue

Some good info in that thread and all the usual sillyness.

As I recall it was a voltage regulator inside the RX that was not spec'd to operate at a high enough temp .. e.g. 60C vs 75C. Other Futaba gear and other mfgs seemed not to be affected. If that 15C delta is what protects a plane, it seems risky to me .. we simply should not put our electronics in direct sunlight inside the plane. Easy enough to fix.

Always surprises me how hot things can get in direct sunlight .. not at all uncommon for iPhones left in the sun on a car seat to shut themselves down when they get too hot .. I've had it happen.

I left the Futaba family only because of their lack of innovation, and their primitive telemetry .. I am a happy Jeti user now so I really appreciate this info. Never ever had a link reliability issue with my Futaba .. nor have I with the Jeti.

So, while it is always good to investigate further and do a little "NTSB" work to understand the issue, my conclusion from this is to add to our list of best practices on installs to not put our electronics, of whatever brand, in direct sunlight.

I would advocate either placing the aircraft in the sun to see if you can duplicate the issue , and if so make a note of the telemetry temp of the CB 200. Or, alternatively use a heat gun and gradually raise the temperature on bench to see if you can cause a similar problem.
you could set an alarm on the temp to not fly.



it might not be temperature,

just sayin,

All information , is good information thank you and be aware that it can happen in this hot and humid environment.

I always keep a couple white towels in the van to throw over the cockpit. I've seen canopies melt even on cool sunny days and some dark parts of my planes get too hot to touch.

Got it!

Thanks ZB.

Got few phone calls and emails from guys who need more than 15 servos with they Jeti Central Box 210/220
Here is configuration that uses power from Port 9/10 (2x7A) from CB220 for Central Box 100, this way you can have up to 20 high power servos connected to the system. If you connect Telemetry to the CB100 and use CB100 only for nonessential functions you can get away with single power lead and go up to 22 servos.

Can anyone elaborate on the different 900mhz systems?

So the 24 is not going to work with newer RX?

Regards,

That’s right....just hope they keep making the non NG....no intention of changing TX...

Many thanks, so it is a hardware issue not software. That is pretty untidy.

My 24 is a yr old and that is going to be very uncool if they don't support it in the 900 band.

Anyone from Jeti going to chime in and explain about the details of the "send your TX back for the free upgrade program promotion"

Regards,

Hmmm, what’s so great about NG 900 MHZ?

I haven’t even used 900 MHz yet LOL.

And I was one of the first to get the DS-24!

New product development. All companies do this. Jeti believe they have found an improved way of utilizing the 900 MHz band. This does not mean they will no longer support the current system. Jeti have a history of keeping their systems as backwards compatible as they possibly can. Maybe there will be an upgrade path for radios on the current system. Maybe not. If there is I don’t see why anyone should expect them to offer this as some sort of free service. If I bought a car a year ago, and the latest version has a turbo in it I certainly don’t expect the manufacture to install a new engine in my car at no charge.

Disagree, if you bought a top of the range car and then the dealer bought out a cheaper lower range version with improved capabilities pretty sure you would not be happy.

Would be nice to know what the differences are, the tx has a 900mhz module below the two upper 2.4mhz module it could be an easy swap out.

Regards,

It “might” be an easy swap except that for North American users it would need to be put back through the FCC/IC certification process. This would be prohibitively expensive for an upgrade itself. “Maybe” the only difference between the current system and the gen 2 will be the RF module. If so then it “might“ be possible to offer an upgrade program to swap out the modules once the gen 2 is certified. But that’s a pretty big maybe at this point. The simple truth is at this point no one knows what Jeti will actually offer or when. So if you own a DS-24 enjoy it’s fantastic capabilities. If you are thinking of buying a DS-24 don’t wait for vaporware. Buy the system that is available today and join the thousands that are happily enjoying it now.

Electronics are always improving. You can't get upset when your system you bought gets improved on. I want the new 16 when it comes out. I could save quit a bit by buying an older model when people sell there's to up grade. So for me, I am going to wait till the new 16 comes out and then I will start selling off my Futaba equipment. Speaking of which, any know when the new 16 is suppose to come out

Once again beg to differ, Jeti is making lower end radios now with almost and potently better features than their top of the line versions.

So little point getting 24's when 16's and potentially 12's can do the same at a considerable discount.

Better to actually just offer one TX than can be configured from 12 to 24 with both software and hardware add on's.

Regards,

Really! ahahahah ahahahah ahah funny 😁

Only funny if you bought the top end.

Business wise great logic, use the sales of top end to fund development of TX for the masses with same features.

Regards,

Have you ever held a DS-12 and DS-24?

He obviously doesn’t have a clue of what he’s talking about........ just too funny some of these guy’s....with there comments...
