As it would have Bill...if indeed a PCMm RX was employed, as the communications protocol would have been different (except in the unlikely case the offending TX was identical and on the same frequency). A PCM RX would immediately have gone into hold, and then would have either returned to normal communications if the proper signal returned or entered falisafe after a set period of time. In some cases depending on manufacturer this delay can be altered.
Sorry to Randy for calling him Pat <grin> Randy claims to be be the tall good looking one (trust me...I have no desire to find out but maybe Gordy could comment for the edification of all :^) Some may recall me posting on testing I did on versions of a neat RX (Sky & Technology) which employ rather complex algorythms which dissect a specific transmitter's signal O/P looking at (and remembering) anomalies which make that TX unique. The result is you can turn on another TX (identical make/model in some circumstances), and it will not interfere. Pretty extraordinary! In fact their particular system touted that you could have two TX's on precisely the same frequency, program the RX to uniquely identify both of them, and then use "both" TX's simultaneously in a student/instructor environment. The neat idea being that the RX would know which TX is master and which was slave. When the student got into trouble with his slave TX, the instructor would turn on his master TX, all on the same frequency, and take over. There were a few fly's in the ointment though; - the TX's had to pretty simple units, such that when they turned on they outputed a valid signal immediately. Not something you can do with today's microprocessor-driven TX's (start-up delays, etc). - there were times when on two identical TX's were employed, the slave OR master could still overrule the other. I still operate a few of these RX's, as they are IMO as good if not better than PCM for precisely the reasons poor Randy got bad juju.
