I've started playing with my 9303 and getting it set up. It has a Governor Mode (GM) and the manual specifically says that it works with the Throttle Jockey, but the instructions aren't very detailed.
From what I gather, you plug the AUX cable for the TJ Pro into the GEAR channel on the RX, turn on the GM and then set the governor values for each flight mode in the GM screen. You set a numeric value for each mode (Normal, ST1, ST2, HOLD) and it uses the same value that it would if you were setting it with an ATV (OIW: if your ATV value is 65% for when the TJ is engaged, you would set the value in GM to 65% in each flight mode that you want the governor engaged. You can also set the value to a different amount in different flight modes for a different head speed in each mode if desired). This much I get.
What I can't figure out is the calibration process. The manual says to leave the gear channel ATVs at 100% when using the GM. This is because the TJ receives its values from the GM in each flight mode.
So what I did is turn GM OFF, then calibrated the TJ Pro using the GEAR channel. Then I turned GM back ON and set the values in the GM screen. I set NORMAL to 0% for no governor, ST1 and ST2 are set to 52%, and HOLD is 0%.
Does anybody know if this is the correct way to do it? I basically just guessed at the procedure and may not have it right.
I love the radio, but the manual is a bit of a disappointment. For one thing, the drawing that shows the switch layout is for the airplane version, even though the manual itself is for the heli version. Also, many of the instructions are vague or incomplete. The instructions and programming are not quite as intuitive as the PCM 10.
