G3 receiver issues

[Finless]

Well again we can go on and on.... I think what one person experiences can be very different than others. REALLY... I see this all the time with the exact same setups Futaba or not... Again very much seems to be more to do with setup that most think!

Here is something you might find interesting... Hirobo says NOT to use a G3 on the Lepton! I have been using one on my Lepton since day ONE! Go figure.....

Dont know if you reading my posts wrong or if Im writing it bad :arggg:
First of all, as I stated before, this is tested on 35mhz, NOT 72.

Thats what im trying to say, its more sensitve, Ok, Check, know that.

Now, knowing that, how sensitive it is depends much on what powersource you run it on, RX battery/Duralite = Better, UBEC = Worse.

Depending on your powersource, you have a "safety margin" in millimeters how far you can place the receiver from an servo.
This will vary depending on servo used as well, and how the servo is mounted towards the receiver.

All this CAN be replicated, with different receivers, different servos, and you will have different "safety margin", still a PCM1024 will have better "range", its less sensitive.

Conclusion, its more senstive fine, you need to take more precations using it, fine.

Things to test if you have issues:

Different powersource.
Ferrite Rings
Move receiver to different spots, even a few millimeters can make a world of difference.
If you have one servo that is aful close, try a ferrite ring on that servo lead.

I dont care jack if its a "problem" or not, its just the knowledge about it and how to prevent it that is important, agree?

My friend had a lockout when his cellphone was roaming. After further investigation (turning the phone off and on) there were lockouts when the phone was roaming.

Don't think we have roaming here in the USA anymore. Most of the cell phone companies are coast to coast.
Must be some bad cell phone company equipment in Sweden. I have seen guys here in the States using Blue Tooth earpieces and talking on the phone while flying using there 12Z or 14MZ.

I have talked on my cellphones via bluetooth headset briefly during flight. I think Beast has his permanently implanted on his ear. I'm sure there are others.

After many flights back on PCM rxs no probelms, yes there still may be a bearing or something going out, or it may be the field.
