Hacked the 2.4Ghz module for my old 40Mhz futaba t-6xhs and works perfectly. No changes on my model settings were made.

The 5V regulator needs some heatsink to increase reliability otherwise conversion was straightforward.

How much does the receiver of the HK 4ch weigh (with/without mantel)?How many cells do you have to put in this transmitter (4ch)? Does the turnigy 1450mAh Transmitter Lipoly Pack fit with it?

Is this transmitter / receiver FCC approved?

I have the 4 channel transmitter which I have been able to bind to 4 planes. Now when the bind button is pushed the LED stays green. Has anyone else seen this problem or know of a reason why?

Gerald (0 points) 9/10/2009
Is it possible to convert this TX from mode2 to mode1? I want to order a few for some friends but the 4ch mode1 is out of stock for a while, the mode2 version is still available.

Many thanks!

Yes, no problems. It takes under 10 minutes. Just a metal and a plastic thing moved from one stic to another.

John (11 points) 8/12/2009
I have one of these 4 channel systems and it works great but spec says it has a Trainer system option and indeed it has a port marked Trainer in the back of the Tx but there is no switch or lever to pass control to the student Tx??? Also, I cannot find a trainer cord for this Tx on the HobbyCity site is there one?

Here is a link to a manual (sort of) that may help you understand and use this great buy of a radio:
You will need to insert the (dot)s to make the link work.

Interested in using this radio in a car - should i use mode 1 or 2 to replicate a car style stick controller? I assume throttle on these radios a sliding stick that stays where you put it, and does not have a spring? On car radios it is normal to have one stick on the left that goes up/down for throttle /brake, and one on the right for steering there that goes left/right. Both have springs that return the stick to neutral. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It helps if you read all text in a thread Felix!
This 4CH Tx will of course work for boats and cars as well, but the trottle stick needs to be without ratchet (forward-reverse). So I borrowed a spring and a lever arm from the elevator function, and put the ratchet there. It would be nice to have the parts taped inside the Tx or the possibility to buy them as spares. Or do anyone else have another idea?
I really hope that HK will start to sell a car/boat radio! Pistol grip Radio!

HELLO I have tryed to bind one of my HK radio The receiver is blinking after a few seconds stops but the servo do not Work!!! What i am doing wrong??

John (11 points) 6/14/2009
I have found the problem. I hate to admit it but the Main Rx LED has been working all along I was just not looking in the right place! I looked on the top, bottom, and one side but never looked on the other side. Sure enough it comes on as documented.

HE3...no problem then
I think most of the HK receiver came perfectly out of the box.
Thank you for your info.

John (11 points) 6/12/2009
Ishady thanks for the suggestions but I have checked these very carefully.
I am using 4 AA batteries to power the Receivers with a measured voltage of 5.25V. As I mentioned system works perfectly in normal operation with all four channels operating correctly. I read that some had experienced problems with defective binding plugs but I checked mine with an ohmmeter and it is fine. I just tried it again and noticed that the LED in the remote receiver IS working correctly and, when I go through the binding process, it does respond as documented. However NO LED ever comes on in the main receiver at any time. I hate to send it back since it does work in normal operation (and the time it will take to get a replacement) but I am wondering if I should to get one that works as it completely should I?. Anybody else have a system where only the Remote Rx LED comes on?

John (11 points) 6/12/2009
I just received my Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2) and it works out of the box BUT I then I tried to re-bind but after plugging in the bind plug in the BAT channel and adding battery power to another channel NO LEDs came on - anybody else experience this and/or know what the problem is?

Thanks

Please check the polarity of your battery (use battery between 3.5Volt and maximum 6Volt).
The battery's positive should be in the middle pin and the negative should be at the right pin (the most outside of the receiver).

can you bind multiple recievers to this,
then switch between them?

Reply:

ishady (119 points);
YES I already use more than 1 rx with only 1 tx,
bind them 1 by 1, no problem.
Just dont use all receiver at the same time..it will be the ticket to disaster...LOL...(but I think you already knew that).
Thx.

BINDPLUG CLARIFICATION - BearPaw or others, I would appreciate further advice on how to use the bind plug - Is that what is referred to as the jumper in the post above? But the bind plug has two ends - where do they both connect? Help!

ishady (119 points);
The bind plug is the device you said allrite.
I use the more wider plug, dont worry: it work.
Just plug it into the receiver's BAT channel.
No problemo.

just because some people were having trouble,

TO BIND:
1. connect the Rx to a Battery notice the blinking led
2. hold down the bind button on the bottom of the controller
3. turn on the controller while holding down the bind button and watch the led
4. when it stops blinking you are done (less than 5 secs for me).

After a range test the club members were impressed by its performance. Hand signals to confirm its function were hardly seen on the end of the test so we stopped it. No servo-vibrations were noticed during this test so the signal stayed clear overall. The 3 test flights afterwards only confirmed the first experiment. Five stars for doing its job but what a pity no instructions are available.
Very pleased with this purchase.

COMPLETE BINDING PROCEDURE FOR

1. Batteries in transmitter, switch off.
2. Connect one side of the bind plug to the BAT slot on the receiver.
3. Connect an ESC (with battery attached) to one of the channels. Black line (-) goes to the far right. You will see a red LED blinking.
4. Push and hold down the bind button on the transmitter while switching on. Keep the bind button held down until the red LED stops blinking. You are now ready to enjoy your wonderful new 2.4GHz TX.

You bind the receiver similar to the Spektrum DX6. You apply power (not using the BAT connector.) On the BAT connector connect the bind plug which connects the signal and ground together.. By the way, power supply polarity is ground is closest to the right side of the above photo with signal for the servos closest to the center of the receiver.

Es una radio muy economica, pero no trae ning�n tipo de folleto explicativo ni caracteristicas de funcionamiento. Para los que nos iniciamos ahora en el sistema 2,4Ghz,es un problema grave.
�Alguien puede aportar alguna informaci�n?
gracias
It is a very economical radio, but it does not bring any explanatory booklet or operating characteristics. For those of us start now in the 2.4 Ghz system, is a serious problem.
Can anyone provide some information?

The price for this beloved TX RX is unbeatable.
The function is all perfect.
Cured my previously glitched plane (guanli A-10 with 2 EDF BL inrunner,2 25A esc, 3 cheap original servo, 3 cell LIPO.

Hi!
I use this transmitter for my glider.It works really great, just plug and play.The range is longer than I can see/fly.You can reverse channels and it has a good indication for battery power.It also work in fms flight simulator.Im a bit disappointed that it only works with the hobbyking reciever.But its a good price and works great,4stars. I regret that I did'nt order Spektrum dx6i the first time,works on many recievers.
