Rescue on a separate channel?

[oldnick]

I've got a DX7 G2 and want to run the rescue on a momentary switch thus freeing up all 3 setups (firmware 2.0.026).

Has anyone done this? I've fiddled about in the channel assign and RX ports menus, but whilst switch A (now a momentary) alters AUX2 on the monitor screen I can't get it to select the AUX channel setting box on P11/Rescue in the Brain configuration software.

Part of my problem is that I'm a bit wooly about the function name/channel name/rx port workings, despite reading a lot of Andy Kunz's replies on various topics elsewhere. Is there an idiot's guide out there?

Cheers, Nick

It is definitely possible with the dx9 nick. Oldnick I presume the dx7 should be the same..
Assign aux2 to the switch you want to use, got into tx setup in the brain software (I think menu 5) and make sure you set the end points to 100% at either end for aux2, as you would all other channels via the tx. I then had to reverse the channel in my dx9 and bingo hope this helps!

Yew, the DX7 G2 has fully assignable switch functionality. Just set the switch to operate the channel used for rescue. It's all if the channel/switch assignment menu in setup, all covered in the manual.

I think the dx7 portion is done, you have to increase the travel adjusts for each channel until the brain software sees 100% each way, then you should be able to select 'rescue on aux'
I had to reverse the aux2 channel too

Boom!

Got it, looking at the advanced menu - receiver menu I hadn't selected the right channel, in my case 5, the one not in use as the tail gain is set in software.

Then I got a bit of movement for the first time on the Aux channel on basic menu - page 5 (Tx setup).

Easy after that to adjust the throws and direction in the Tx.

Thanks all, and I hope that helps you too Nick C
