Microbeast plus RX/TX questions
I just ordered a t rex 470lm today and have a few questions. I have never used a beast x plus before and am wondering if a person can use a straight dsm2 sat with it? Or do I need a full receiver? Reason being is that I would like to just use my ol DX7 radio with it. Its the older version and dsm2 only. Or do I need DSMX? Could a person get away with a ar6100E receiver? Should I find another ar7000 with sat and use that?
I am just trying to grasp it right now and get some parts sitting here.Any help would be muchly appreciated. Oh and I am not worried about any bailout,rescue etc!! Ice..

Yes no problem. You perform the bind process for DSMX so the BX uses the proper protocol and then the sat will establish the link in DSM2 mode.
Just be aware of the fact of the multiple connections when using an adapter and then a sat with a cable that is well know for connection issues. Protect your investment and use a full RX with Sat. Just last weekend I had a sat develop a bad connection during preflight. The LED went dim and then started to blink and it ended up being the cable.

https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=776423 and this one https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=763120 and look at the AR7700 http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...odID=SPMAR7700 It will bind in DSM2 or DSMX, will be more reliable than a standalone sat, costs barely more than a new sat, works great with MB using SRXL port. You don't need DSMX supposedly unless you are flying with a very large number of other people at the same time (like 40). I am not a believer in Sats-only direct to the controller.

So questions..where does a person get info on what cable to use to connect the 7700 to the beastx? I read somewhere that you needed a special cable for spectrum products. Or maybe my memory is wrong. Even a part number and simplified diagram would work. I tried doing a search in here to no avail.Any info on the beast site doesn't exactly tell me or maybe I am missing something.
I just bought 2 ar7200BX units from a fella. I might just go that way for now,but would be nice to get a little knowledge on rigging up this unit.

No special cable needed for AR7700 to BeastX. It is just a male to male servo cable. The port at end is just a typical 3-pin servo port. The Spektrum Sat uses a small special connector.

Study the manual for single line SRXL RX setup.
Get the USB dongle and load StudioX Link up and make all adjustments you can prior and setup is a breeze,

I did the same, AR7700 and BeastX, the right cable comes with the AR7700 and just plugs into the BeastX and used a satellite receiver along with it. Very easy setup. And for setup questions, also check out the 470L section, very good info there.
