Checking Voltage on 4VF
I was wondering why I am unable to check the voltage of my 4VF Tx with my hobbico digital voltmeter mk III. I can check the voltage of my Rx with no problems. I am using hobbico HCAP 0101 leads (fut j transmitter & reciever {all except 9VAP}).
I'm completely baffled, my voltmeter works in all the other applications I've used it in (nicad glow plug heater, lead acid battery) including the Rx. Is there some kind of diode protection or something that is inhibiting me from checking the voltage, the Tx charges fine?
I've had 3 sets of the same leads now and I just can't figure this out (thinking the leads were defective). The manual is limited at best any and all help will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

RE: Checking Voltage on 4VF
I found that the diode is the problem from speaking with a Futaba rep yesterday. Im gonna have em replace my diode with a poli-switch, guess its just a normal procedure. Unless I should do something besides ship it back and have the switch installed, these two posts could get deleted whenever you want.
Thanks
