Re: [RCSE] Vision 3.0 Questions.

2000-12-11 Thread Soaraddict

Older Visions had a flaw with the strap that holds the pot's output shaft to 
the radio. This strap often cracked causing the shaft to rotate and cause the 
problem you are experiencing.  The fix is quite simple; just reinforce the 
strap and tighten it all back down after you re-center the pot using the 
Vision's LCD readout.
We found all this out on practice day for the '91 F3B Worlds in Holland when 
Larry Jolly's radio had this happen and Joe's was about to. We fixed both in 
the field and the rest is history.
Good luck,
Norm

 manually.

 I beleive that the memory is held with a different battery then the
 transmitter power battery.  It may just happen that the internal 5-year 
lithium
 battery happened to give up at the same time.  I don't think the two
 interact in any way.
  

You guys found the main flaw in a Vision; if you run the tranny all the way 
down, you lose the programing. I guess that's why the low power warning 
beeper is so loud! There is no internal battery backup.
