spirit sat cable question

[dogbiscuit]

ok, so spirit do a satelite cable with regulator to enable the connection of a second sat as below.....

Spektrum adapter V2 - Spirit System - Tomáš Jdrzejek

but, is this the same thing at hobby king (although stating for the tarot zyx fbl).....

ZYX-S DSM2/DSMJ Compatible Satellite Receiver Cable

Just wondered if anyone has used this hk joby on their spirit. Does it regulate the voltage to the same voltage as the spirit version ? Or, is there another cable on the market available in the uk that will do the job ?

[Grumpy]

My understanding is that they are all the same, so the HK one should work.

PS... another way to do it that should work ok and may be a bit neater is to use a PPM output receiver connected by single PPM cable to the Spirit. This Lemon PPM receiver should do it: https://buy.4props.com/receivers/typ...-lemon-rx.html

I've not tried it myself so you might need to check if it will work ok, but on paper it should because the Spirit supports PPM input.

thanks Grumpy. Quite surprised thought that your the only person with an opinion. Any other spirit users using it or do you all go for the genuine item ? just be nice to hear a few more positives before I order.

I just use the HK or Tarot ones, they're just a simple step down as far as I know.

I normally use full size rx with my spirits but am running my 6HV using sats and I'm using the spirit adaptor and the sole reason for that is because everywhere was out of stock with the other sat cables at the time. As far as I can see they are identical and I've not heard of anyone having any bother with other types of adaptors as Dave (maddog7) uses them with no hassle at all.
Mind you all he does is extreme tail in so it's not as if he's pushing the envelope (just joking Dave!!).

Cheers Paul. I am also set up on a 6hv, with the issue being so little space for the rx and associated wires. There is just not much room on this heli's frame, just enough for a couple of sats.....

[Scotvar]

There's not much space on that airframe so sats really are the only option. I'm also using a Y lead for an additional port.

I love how the 6HV flies and my one and only mishap with it was I lost orientation because the canopy is just so round! When the spirit came out it was a no brainer!!

[Ritchieme]

Yep the hk one works fine, all three of my helis have it. I also just got the governor working with a phase sensor, awesome!
