Hello Tomas,
that sounds great !
It's a shame, unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to test at the moment -

Side question, will there be a new firmware update soon or when can we expect it?
Thanks !

I need to order another SRXL2 unit before I can help!

For running multiple SRXL2 receivers/satellites we developed binding process that can be triggered directly from the Spirit Settings software.
This will bind all receivers properly with only one to send telemetry data. So issues with corrupted telemetry will be resolved by this.

I think we can share the software from tomorrow if someone is interested.
I would like to pursue this.
I am using a Spirit GT with an AR6610T as the main receiver and 4651T as a Satellite receiver.
Are the two still wired as per instructions with the 4651T plugged into the Sat2 port?
What is the binding procedure for each/both.
Can you send me the software update?

Patiently waiting for Spirit to share the software update to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your patience.
We are still working on it. Binding is done through button in the software - no need to plug or hold anything from now.

Thought it was ready to go but would rather wait for a fix that actually works than one that is rushed out the door plagued with bugs causing the end user with headaches.

Thanks for the update on the update.

I now have two SRXL2 SPM4651T receivers updated to the latest Spektrum firmware.

I assume that if I use both receivers, I will lose telemetry when the signal is stronger on the unit not connected to the ESC?

If the new software gets round this, I don't mind trying it, but I'm not sure when I'll fly that heli next as I use my G380 in the Winter.

Thanks,

Ian.

The fix is ready for all Spirit units. All SRXL2 devices can be mixed now.
Telemetry and integration will work from all of these at the same time.

Is this on a new firmware update? I'd like to update my spirit.
