Tom, Yes, most manuals today are dictionaries telling what commands/mixes are available, but not how/why/when you would want to use that mix. That information is not specific to any given radio, and is perhaps why it is not included in radio programming manuals. That "secret dark art" used to be out there, but now is a little harder to get. The manual with the Airtronics Vision gave a great overview as to "why" you would want this mix or that, in a very few pages. Several years ago, Don Edberg wrote a good book about programming computer radios. Lots more details on what is this mix, and where it might be used. Great book to answer the issues you mention. The book itself is out of print, but he still sells it in an electronic form from his website. The site is rather slow. http://dynmodel.com/guide.html I bought the book many years ago, and it was quite helpful to me. He covers planes, gliders, and helicopter mixing. Most of his examples are glider oriented. Jon RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
