There was a batch of bad Berg Micro Stamps produce right after Castle bought Berg. After that first batch, they have been just fine.

Re: [RCSE] Re: DSP issues - Berg Micro Stamp - and stuff
I too had a new Castle Creations Berg 4L in my DLG at the IHLGF. For me, the biggest test is flying low and close to other flyers when you're at the other end of the field. The Berg 4L performed flawlessly. Pretty good for a 4.5 gram rx. Interestingly enough, I have an Electron 6 in my other DLG and that was glitching when it got tooclose to other people with their radios on. - Original Message - From: inventorforhire To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Soaring@airage.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 12:55 PM Subject: Re: [RCSE] Re: DSP issues - Berg Micro Stamp - and stuff There was a batch of bad Berg Micro Stamps produce right after Castle bought Berg.

[RCSE] Re: DSP issues
I've had problems with the earlier Berg receivers glitching badly ultimately causing crashes on the slope; same with the Polk Seeker 6 synthesized RX (two receivers, two out of control gliders that crashed.) Everyone seems to be rushing to DSP, while I'm lamenting Hitec's changing the Super Slim to DSP and the loss of the bulletproof 555. Fortunately JR (Sport) is starting to make small negative shift receivers (but a 7 channel would be nice) they're as reliable as can be. Apparently ABC W is quite different than DSP. The results sure are different.

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't know if I'm the only one with this experience but both Rxs that I've used with DSP and other front end signal processing have failed miserably in my discus planes. These are the Sombra 7 and the FMA M5V2. I had (still have) very good response from my standard M5s (no longer available) but get lock-outs and swamping with the V2 at contests. Same with the Sombra, even after the temperature problem had been addressed. They are both retired now. Not limited to low and slow and coming back. I have several metal roof buildings at the field where I fly and both these Rxs run into problem within several hundred feet of these structures. My Futaba's, Hitec E6's and old M5's go through these regions without any problems but both of the other units tend to go crazy, lock out and crash. I suspect that the bounce from the metal roof presents a stronger signal than the direct path RF and the slight time offset confuses the filtering circuitry. This is probably an excellent technology but may not be fine-tuned yet for some applications? - Dave R -- End of Soaring V1 #7755 *** RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re: DSP issues - Berg Micro Stamp - and stuff
Don -- Good to hear about the new Berg stuff being able to stand up to Poway! It's true the early, early versions of the Berg 4- and 5-channel (pre-Castle) receivers had issues with the DSP, and hence released the DSP II, which I can only assume is at least what they are using in the new Castle Bergs. For what it's worth, I fly Berg 5's (pre-Castle stock) in my DLGs, and have never had a problem. Flew my Polecat EZBD to great new heights (2000 ft or more) on Sunday (beating Gordy and his Super AVA, of course!) using a spare Berg 5 DSPII. Yeah, I certainly thought Oh man, I'm 2500 feet up with a Berg!, but that thing never failed me. Two weeks ago I managed an LSF IV 1-hour flight with the same ship. This Sunday, however, I only managed 45 minutes - which was not the fault of the receiver. :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 6/5/06 4:32:33 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've had problems with the earlier Berg receivers glitching badly ultimately I have used the Berg Micro Stamp 4 in my HL models for several without a problem.
