merci beaucoup pour m'avoir aidé a déchiffrer ces informations! c'est crucial !🙂

AWESOME VIDEO!!! I never really understood the telemetry side of the receiver. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for tuning in!

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time too post the video!

RSSI is a boring topic (😄hehe..) but also important and that's why I want to make people aware of it. Thanks for watching.

Great video! Ive used spektrum tx's since i returned to flying, dec 2019. (Dx6e, nx6, nx8, now nx10. IX14 when available 😁). I, like everyone else probably, never knew that was there! Be great for all my big & fast birds! 👍

I am glad the video is helpful. Thanks!

Excellent explanation. First time I know how to read the data and understand it. I have one carbon fiber intensive plane where this will be of paramount importance. Thank you!!

[@8HrToGo]

Yes, please be aware that 2.4G band is saturated now and if you are flying in middle of no-where, then it's not much an issue, but if your flying field is near cities towns, with lot of WiFi going around, be sure to start monitoring your data, and maybe add another 2nd antenna or start moving your receiver around away from carbon area, to see if communication link is strong or not. Thanks!

@@8HrToGo Thank you for your reply. There is no practical way to avoid the carbon fiber which is like a cage however, I have just received a new receiver and satellite receiver (4 antennas to protrude out the fuselage) and hope that will help me avoid another uncontrolled crash of an expensive balsa plane! Will be watching your ‘add a satellite receiver” video shortly for helpful hints. Thanks!

Very interesting & informative video! 🙂 The surprising thing to me was that you didn't seem to be flying especially far away; but if you're in a high RFI environment (as you seem to be), the receiver could be struggling a bit to pull your transmitted signal out of the noise. I haven't had this issue (so far) with any of my Spectrum radios (currently using an NX10SE, also have an older DX9 as a backup); I do some flying in a city environment with mostly UMX & park flyer style planes (my Visionaire is the fastest plane I use for park flying); not sure if the receiver in it (without specifically looking at it, I think it's an AR630?) has telemetry capability. In the city setting, I'm generally flying low & close (especially if I'm flying my UMX YAK 54 3D). I recently started going back to my old club field which is in a fairly rural area (bought an e-Flite F4U Corsair, which requires more runway, & is far faster than the "fun-fly" planes I otherwise fly; at least until I get used to it, I don't DARE fly it in a park setting!). I always range-check a new plane before flying; the only incident I can recall was years ago, flying at a soccer field on the ground of my last employer (I'm now retired); the soccer field was literally right next to the plant that I worked in, making it convenient to go out during my afternoon break & get in some flying with either a MX or park flyer plane. I was flying a UMX "BEAST 3D which I was very comfortable flying; when suddenly, from about 30 feet altitude, (& in straight & level flight) it nose-dived straight into the ground. 😳 Fortunately, there was relatively little physical damage; I picked it up, & out of curiosity, did a range check on it. I was shocked when I found that only about 3 feet away from it, I had NO control! (It worked if I brought the transmitter in close). Brought it home & checked it, found that the antenna (which in this UMX plane, was about a 1" piece of wire off the receiver / speed controller / 2X servo board) apparently had a cold solder joint from the factory, & had broken loose! 😲 Resoldered it, and the radio range was restored! 🙂 I'm going to have to give your suggestions here a try. Thanks!😀

I think the most important thing to pay attention to is the H (Hold) number. If you consistently see high number of holds, that's a red flag at where you fly, and you should consider don't fly there or reposition your antenna or add additional 2nd antenna. Please pay attention to it. Thanks for your detailed comment.
