Add 2 channels
I am trying to remember the name of the company that sells an add-on adapter to a 4 channel radio, making it a 6 channel. The advertisement that I remember seeing in magazines shows it clipping on to the handle of the radio and plugging into your trainer port adding 2 toggles. It has not been that long ago that I saw this but am unable to find it again. Does anyone know what company am talking about and do they work okay?

RE: Add 2 channels
the trainer port only accepts data when you have your hand on the trainer switch, so this device must work by having its own transmitter (and once you do that, it overrides your local controls anyway)... the cost for that would probably be more then a cheap 6 channel basic transmitter...

If you find it, I suggest you check with your transmitter manufacturer before you buy.

RE: Add 2 channels
This is slightly different from your original post, however, my memory was recently jogged.
There has been talk of opening up the HiTec 555 receiver to activate disabled channels. A "How-To" was posted, recently. If your receiver happens to be a 555, you might be interested in searching for the posts.
Good luck,
Dave Olson

RE: Add 2 channels
It is not, but thanks anyway....it is driving me crazy wondering where I saw the ad for the additional channel add on. Probably was in an old magazine from years past........just wondered if it was still an option.
