Brian, I think you gave me the answer. On the 8 I had used a Glider 2 setup while on the 9 I used a Glider 1 setup. The servo is plugged into the throttle channel (3) so I thought that it wouldn't matter, but I do have a mix on from airbrake to elevator. Maybe there is a difference between the

What you are observing could be as simple as exceeding the AGC (automatic gain control) with one TX's RF O/P, and not the other. Does the jittering cease when the TX is farther away from the RX? Also consider that 60Hz AC indoor lighting (especially fluorescents) can exacerbate the problem.

Hi Art, I have several Seiko's and use them all the time, I think they are the best out there as far as a stop watch goes. I also have talking timers, and cheap stop watches too. I am thinking of an application that goes beyond just timing by using a PDA. Thanks, Jim At 06:48 PM 5/26/2004,
