I have an old PCM10Z transmitters and crystal type receivers I want to update the system with synthesised receiver and tx module. What modules and receivers would be compatible?
I have been informed that if you use the Spektrum receivers in an IC model, it is wise to use a 6 volt battery, not a 4.8. The cut-off point for the receiver, below which it loses range and function is 5 volts. A fresh 4.8 volt pack gives about 5.3 volts and will function well on the ground, but as the volts drop to 4.8 and below, you could be in trouble. Not a problem with electrics as the BEC will give about 6 volts. Can you confirm or deny this? 
I want to use the RS77S Synthesised Rx in the normal fashion but when connected up to power, and a servo, on a rudimentary test bench, the Tx doesn’t action the servo. Is this because of the button "SCAN" not being used?, Can you tell me what I should do to get a response from the Rx?
Following the bind process for my DSX9 2.4ghz radio everything works fine and all the lights on the receivers are solid after removing the bind plug. On occasion I switch everything on and the lights on the receivers (not always all of them either) start flashing despite control still being achieved and everything working when making stick inputs. I might then turn everything off and then on again and all the lights are then solid.
I am building a large model and want to use 2 X 4.8 volt NiCad's on the "RD921" 2.4Ghz rx.
