Switching from DSMX sats to standard PWM receiver (AR8000)

Quick question - is it necessary to run through setup again if switching from dual sats to a standard Rx? Or will things like the swash leveling remain unchanged? I am not using the Spirit gov on this model.

Thanks

Hello,

you do not have to change anything in the unit, except the receiver type to PWM.
When you make sure that all your travel ranges will match the old one (including reverses and center of the collective) then it will work exactly in the same way.
So in the Diagnostic tab, everything should be same after this transition.

I believe that there may be another exception if you connect a PWM receiver to a Spirit (not Pro). In that instance you have access to only six channels. Channel 5 can either be used for Banks or Gyro Gain. Channel 7 is unavailable. So the transmitter can only be used for either Bank selection or Gyro Gain adjustment but not both, even if it has seven channels. If Banks are transmitter selected, then Gyro Gain must be set in software. If Gyro Gain is set in transmitter, then Banks are not available.

The Spirit Pro does not have this limitation.

Many thanks both. Good catch Ben - it is a non-pro version. Happy for gyro gain to be locked and will have banks on channel 5.
