Greg and Gordy,
I am likewise a fan of these little beeper/finder/battery monitors. This one
from Sky King RC Products is my favorite.

This is the only one I hav been able to get to work with both FM and PCM. But
I have not been able to get it to work with 2.4 GHz. Spektrum receivers.
Gordy, you say you can make it work. Have you actually tried? If you have
been successful, perhaps you can give us a step by step. The procedure I used
for PCM did not work for 2.4 GHz Spektrum.
