Hi guys.
After about 6 months of it sitting in my garage I had a forced holiday so decided to finally get to have a look at what I believed to be a faulty transmitter DIY module. I rechecked all the connections but was unable to make it work. So swapped it out with the replacement I ordered from HK ages ago. Immediately I got flashing lights and things looked a lot better but was unable to get it to bind to the 6DFr receiver. After a lot of head scratching and reading and rereading manuals etc I almost by accident found that the SMA plug wasn't connected to the antenna lead and only there by virtue of the heat shrink. A trip in to town for a new SMA plug proved fruitless so I decided to unsolder the lead from the faulty unit and resolder it to its replacement. Luckily after removing the heat shrink from the boards I found that both were connected via a micro plug (sorry don't know the type) and this made the swap easy. Now binding went successful and so I wrapped the board in some insulation tape tidied things up and closed the back of my JR X378. I finally built the AXN that had been laying about for just as long, charged the batteries and did a range test. All went well.
After a few near crash hand launches (the 2200Mah 3s battery seems really heavy so the hand launches had to be really "spirited") I finally gave it full noise and flew away. Almost immediately I got beeping from my transmitter sounding a bit like a vario (beeps rising in pitch followed by a low beep) but they stopped and started what appears to be randomly. I am guessing this is a low signal tone? The AXN flew fine apart from the nose heavy feel and I haven't noticed any glitches (its only been 1 flight though). I guess I just want to confirm that those beeps are low signal beeps and if there is anything to worry about?
Cheers
