My Collective Freezes When Satellites are Detected AND the system is in Stabilization mode. The collective works when I take it out of stabilization mode and it works in the other GeoLink modes. It freezes in all Stabilization modes.

This mean that some GeoLink or Rescue function is engaged together with stabilisation.
You can verify what is engaged at the Diagnostic tab. It is enough to reconfigure these functions for other assignment or turn off unused functions.

Thank you, but no other rescue or gps functions are engaged. I am using Spirit 2, GeoLink, ELRS. I have checked all the wiring. Telemetry is accurately displayed. As soon as it detects enough satellites to lock, it freezes the collective. When I turn of stabilization, the collective works and in works in other GPS modes but not in stabilization modes.

Can you explain how I create the file and share it here? I think I made it work. Please let me know if you were able to get the file. Thanks

In your settings almost all GeoLink functions are active. Are all assigned to a channel, except Altitude Limit.
Because Altitude Limit was not assigned to any channel ,default behavior is it is engaged anytime when Stabi function is engaged too. In the Aid tab you can see, that it is engaged by Stabi function actually. This mean that whenever you will engage a stabilisation mode, this function is engaged too.
So it is enough to turn Altitude Limit off at the Aid tab.

THANK YOU! It never occurred to me that the default position would go to on. Of course, it makes sense. I had changed something in my ELRS settings that limited me to 12 channels (I fixed that now) and that's why the 13th, that was controlling Altitude Limit, was unassigned. Very much appreciate your patience with a new-bee.
It works perfectly now.
Thanks again,
Marty Rome
