It's nothing to be concerned about, it's just fine. Most likely the chirp will stop when you charge the battery and move the knob off center.

Have you tried reproducing this on the bench? I'd think the hardware guys would want to know about this and maybe come up with a low cost fix, like a cap hung at the right junction. The weirdo chirpiness freaks me out a little.

Sure, I've done it on the bench. That's how I figured out what it is and why we agree it's not an issue.

Andy

Who exactly is agreeing that this freaky set of weirdo noises isn't a problem? Is it the same people who decided that the inactivity alarm didn't need to be included in the manual? Because, c'mon, man. This thing sings like a hayfield full of crickets when I go to turn it off and it would be nice to get some kind of official notice that there really isn't a problem. I am not real impressed with Horizon's technical support of their new DSMX radio line so far.

Please refer back to post 692.

I fear you may have just started a loop that will continue for eternity.

This appears to be the standard AndyKunz response to anything he doesn't want to answer. Give a non-answer and then just refer to that for all future requests for clarification. He has done this on a number of threads. Naturally, since this thread contains discussion which may be revealing Yet Another Weakness in the new DSMX radios AndyKunz will repeat the same behavior. Oh, well.

I wonder if any actual SpektrumRC representatives provide answers on this board anywhere? I haven't found any. Anybody know of any?

Hi, sorry to bore you with my question. I'm thinking about buying a DX7s to replace my old FM stuff for air, I do however, for my boats, use a DX3S surface radio w/telemetry & works with DSM/DSM2 receivers. I would like to get rid of the DX3S and use only one TX for surface and air. Will the DX7s work with the following surface RX's ?

RS3300T DSM w/telemetry
MR200 Marine DSM
RS300 Marine DSM

TIA,
eddy

PS, I hate wheel radios.

The DX7S works with the MR200 , and the MR3000.

It doesnt work with the SR line though, you would either need to buy a an AR400 receiver for $29.99 each http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...rodID=SPMAR400 or one of the DSM2 clone receiver that sell for cheap.

So if the receiver has MR or AR in the front of the model number it "should" work.
SR doesnt not work though.

Im not a big fan of wheel radios for boats either, Spektrum probably feels the same way since the MR receivers are compatible with their stick radios.

Spektrum doesn't have feelings but we do have several boaters, and boaters very commonly use both formats. I used stick radios on my sailboats (I don't think anybody would use a pistol for a sailboat) and pistols for most of my raceboats, but also had a few raceboats I set up on sticks.

There are advantages to boat formats.

Now to build a trans. with a tiller on it.

I've been trying to find out how to use the memory chip to store unlimited model memory and can't seem to find it in the search engine. I know how to copy the 20 models onto the card, but what good does that do when you have to save at least 1 channel to export from the card to the radio to use? That only allows you 38 because you need at least 1 empty place on both the card and radio to allow for transfer without erasing any models. Furthermore, If I can get good at juggling them around that way, it's still a pain.
Anyone know an easier way?

New radio with higher model memory count or get a second radio.

I keep multiple folders for them, sorted by types of models. Then I can pull in what I need at any time. I also have folders that I've Exported All to where the folder is the date I did it.

You need to create the folders on the PC, but it fits my needs.

Andy

What Andy said. I created folders (directories) for categories of planes, then put all my models of that category into the folder after editing them to remove references to a particular slot, etc. When I want to switch in a plane I grab the model file off the card from its category folder.

The key here is the use of your desktop or laptop computer to do editing and arranging of your SD card. Proper model management is critical to keeping this stuff sorted out, otherwise you end up with a mess containing duplicates, close-but-not-quite renamed copies of models, etc. Stay with it and the radio is fairly easy to use. Remember: time spent organizing at your desk is time you don't have to waste out at the field.
