I put a 8 channel Oncore VP in a Z3801A. I had to tell the receiver to be a 6 channel unit for it to work properly. The 8 channel unit appeared to be a slight bit more receive sensitive . I also noted that compared to the older 6 channel receiver, the 8 channel unit worked when the older unit lost lock due to some geometry problems in the spring and the fall.
I do not know the differences in the 58503 and the Z3801A, but we know the PC board in the Z3801A is labeled 58503. Brian N4FMN Randy Warner wrote: > Guys, > > I need a little help.
