Spectrum RX brownout fix (V1.6)

[kamtsa]

This is something I picked from a local RC mailing list:

Apparently Spektrum/JR came with firmware version 1.6 for their RX's that improves the brown out down time. Here are videos that demonstrate the behavior with V1.6 and without V1.6

There is also some discussion of it here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=817759

Anybody tried to send their RX's for upgrade? How long does it take?

Horizon quotes 7 - 10 day turnaround. Probably be a bit right now as they get LOTS of Rxes shipped to them. I shipped 12 on Fri. :)

Of course if they would develop and sell a programming cale, they could save themselves some hassles. :)

If send them an AR6100 from a Trex 450, can I slap in an AR6200 and just bind it to the DX7 or do I have to redo the entire Trex settings with the new receiver.

Just slap it in. Rx change should not change any settings.

I sent a bunch in, whenthey come back, I will swap into things I fly more often and send those in.
