Hi Bill, I have yet to encounter a RX that demonstrates anomalies while operating on 5 cells. I use 5cell packs wherever possible. I do recall within the IMAC world an OEM (regular case size) servo that jittered on anything above ~6.3V. That has been corrected. Although the physical size of th

If you don't mind a little work, take a standard reciever, locate the input to the decoder, connect this to a cassette recorder and you have the signals on tape. Or, maybe soneone has an idea of how to connect to a computer or PDA. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.
