...little problem:
I assign channel 11 to:
- F: Geo-Link Position Halten
- F: Geo-Link Höhe Halten

In the Off-position from the switch it shows "Zustand: Aus" and "Zustand An(2)"
why not also "Zustand: Aus" ?
>> see attached Screenshots...

You have one of the two available Alt Hold modes selected. Check the online Geolink Manual to see which mode you want then set the endpoints\subtrim of the switch to match your Position Hold mode. You may need to Reverse a switch.

For Position Hold, Off is -100%. For Altitude Hold, Off is 0%. Can you map the same switch to to different channels which you can control differently? Like one channel from -100% to 100% and the other channel from 0% to 100%.

@buttles,
@FrankFuss,

well, I'm a little confused...
I have read the online geolink-description (chap. 5.1).
I will start testing only with position-hold feature.
@FrankFuss:
I checked the outputs from my transmitter/receiver for channel 11:
Position-Hold ON is with -100%.
As I understand this feature ist in combination with coax-mode.
I changed "horizontal sensitivity" to 80%.
Attached some screenshots.
Thanks for help.

greetings from Hamburg

Are you using a two or three position switch? The issue you have is Position hold only needs a two position switch but Alt hold 'should' have a three position switch. If you are using a two position switch decide which mode of Alt hold you want and play with Reversing and Endpoints\Subtrim to get both Alt and Position hold to work together.

I tested the Position Hold mode (chap. 5 "Geolink Features") this morning.
The heli was stable but I could't control the heli with the swashplate-stick
in the horizontal level. There was no influence.
The blue led from the GeoLink-modul was on.
What can be wrong ?

Maybe stick priority is too low - please increase value for Stabi/Stick Priority - for example to 10. Stabi/Function can be configured as Coaxial.

I changed "Direkt Steuer Anteil: 4" and
"Knüppel Priorität: 10".
Hopefully it will work...
