Default iGyro SRS Flight recorder with Futaba?

Does anyone know what these terms mean in relation to Futaba FASST when using Powerbox iGyro SRS with multiple receivers plugged in?

Antenna Fades?
Lost Frames?
Holds?

A Fade is when a Rxer did not get a complete packet and the Rxer system switched to another Rxer. Looks like you do not have a Rxer in #2 or #2 has a problem. If you see something like 600 fades in one Rxer and 50-150 in the others, then you may want to reposition the Rxer with the high # of fades. Unless you do not have a Rxer in #2, you need to figure out why is #2 not showing any data? I never use < 3 Remotes. That way you can position them so at all times at least one Rxer has its antennas polarized the same as the transmitter. Cross polarization theoretically = 97% signal loss. Some transmitters have two antennas polarized differently. But not all do.

A frame loss is when all of the Rxers missed getting a packet That is actually an indicator of potential problems. If I see a Frame Loss, I fly closer or find another smoking gun.. With only two Rxers you are more at risk for a hold than with three or four Rxers.

It takes 40+ frame losses in a row to get a hold. Even one hold is a serious problem. You may lose the aircraft.
