dsmx/dsm2

[brin]

just noticed that one of my dsmx sats is not lighting up .Its on my 550e running the 3gx .can I use one of my dsm2 sats in its place .

Not unless u reconfigure to use dsm2 overall

Do not mix DSM2 and DSMX equipment together, I'd stay with 2 DSMX or 2 DSM2.

I can put two dsm2 sats on but will the 3gx allow this.my tx is a dx8 if that makes any difference.just need to get it sorted before the weekend.i'll order one in the meantime.cheers

The sats have to be the same as the RX, either DSM2 or DSMX

[Mark_T]

The 3GX has only ever used DSM2 mode even with DSMX satellites so yes, it will be perfectly happy with two DSM2 satellites.

You will need to rebind of course.

Some hints that the new firmware may support DSMX but not confirmed yet.

Also, do check the wiring to the satellites, a faulty wire may be the cause of the current satellite not working so if you use the same wires for the new satellite you may still have problems.

That is certainly true, when there is an RX in use, but in this case I think it is just the 3GX and the two satellites?

If there is an RX on the heli as well then yes, that must match the satellites in use.

Thanks Mark.That is what I thought about the 3gx.good point about the wiring all I did was swap over the plugs to see if that worked but did not check the wiring connections.I have ordered a new one anyway but still need to check the wiring. cheers.
