Randy,
A) You seem to be the person that has an ax to grind. Sorry you do not understand the
situation.
B) Taking the CASE off a RECEIVER was never talked about and as far as I know is OKAY!
Changing a case on a TX RF deck can cause the
unit to change its radiated RF emissions.
C) As far as JR COOL if they got a RF deck that you can change the crystal they did it
after we did and I hope that all the other
companies get this feature! I think it is silly to have to have a class one tech
license to change a crystal. Hats off to Japan
Radio if they got this too. BTW just because something is printed in a magazine does
not make it so. This whole thread started
because a How too article came out that makes a radio that is not legal to even turn
on! Gordy care to enlighten the group with
what you have found out about the GORDY modified TXS?
D) If some one wants a Multiplex radio fine for them. I doubt it is because of my
posts it is because they research the features
they want. I will not stop telling the truth just because it offends you.
E) READ THE post about the servos Daryl had in his plane. I asked to the group
because Daryl was not answering his email. That
post was asked on the behalf of Herr Greiner who is not on the list and asked me to
find out ASAP. Also it was not an endorsement at
all for any products.
F) THIS IS THE MAIN POINT AND GET IT AND GET IT ONCE AND FOR ALL. I DO NOT CARE, I DO
NOT GIVE A HOOT, OR GIVE A RATS A-- about
this. There is NO FCC POLICE, I have no authority to bust you nor would I. ONLY thing
I know that at our club such a unit will not
be used we like our club and our planes want to keep them. The Spectra installed in a
Stylus MAY work on your system BUT IT IS NOT
LEGAL AT ALL! The STYLUS IS A GREAT PRODUCT the SPECTRA IS A GREAT PRODUCT but
combined AT THIS POINT IN TIME CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT
BE USED OR EVEN TURNED ON! The input power to the front end of the RF section differs
from the Hitec to Airtronics thus the output
to the antenna is different. ANYONE HAVE THE REAL DATA if such a modification causes
overtones at all? Do you? Can you certify
the unit? Do you have ANY RF training at all?
Now if you have any real information please share it. If you just want to bash me then
go ahead but take it off line I will respond
to you in kind. I responded to a post, the information I have given is true like it or
not. HOLDING BACK THIS INFORMATION WOULD BE
FLAT OUT WRONG! The IRRESPONSIBLE posting of a how to article of how to modify a RC
TX should be RETRACTED by the author. Going
after the person who comes on and lets people know that doing this modification WILL
VOID the FCC cert and make a TX that can best
be used as an expensive door stop. IF a person does this modification and DID NOT
KNOW that the end result is a TX that can not be
used and they have a problem THEY HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. Ignorance of the law is no
excuse. I would hate to see a fellow pilot get in
to an insurance and legal problem because of wanting to change the frequency of there
toy plane transmitter. Do not shoot the
messenger.
