SkyKing here. So far we do not have a solution for Spectrum 2.4GHz
systems. They all employ a fail safe which cannot be turned off. This
defeats our locator. The Futaba 2.4GHz 6 channel 2.4 GHz allows us to
use the gear channel on/off toggle switch to turn our locator on or off
without the need for turning the TX off.
I have never tested the Hobbico lost model device but it might work with
your 2.4 GHz TX. It triggers on when the device does not detect any
stick movement for a period of time. But, I'm not certain if it will
work since I have never tested one.
We will have a unit at some point but at the moment it is a back burner
project.

Subject: [RCSE] Question regarding 2.4GHz..Answer :-)
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.

This is the same as with PCM, all you have to do is program a
failsafe function to the channel you have your plane finder plugged
into
to fire the response.
So if you are in Aux 4 for instance, program full travel the
other direction, that way when the TX is turned off simulating a lost
signal your device will trigger.

In the past on my 72MHz radios I have used a device in my planes
which
beeps when it loses the signal from the transmitter. This has
been handy to find a plane in the woods and to signal me when the
receiver is bad(saved one plane when the receiver was bad) This
device
plugs into a spare channel.
The problem is that I have switched to the JR9303 2.4GHz radio
but with its failsafe this device always gets a signal so it doesn't
beep when I turn the transmitter off.
Anybody experienced this? Is there something new that will
work with the 2.4GHZ radios?
