Title: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: Shyam Hembram on February 17, 2013, 02:11:53 PM Can i add some extra channels to my Avionics RCB 7X Radio?please suggest me some methods.
Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: anwar on February 17, 2013, 02:22:13 PM IF you want to go to more than 7 channels, then buying a new radio would be the straight forward solution.
What exactly are you trying to do, and why do you need more channels ? Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: arun.sreelakam on February 17, 2013, 02:41:51 PM Adding a channel to the receiver is possible but dont know about the rcb7x
I have seen somewhere one guy has added a 5th channel to a 4ch GWS R4P receiver by just soldering a signal lead at pin11 of the IC located at the front side Also, And also a positive and a negative lead from the receiver now the three wires will form the extra channel.. But you need extra care while working with pre made electronics as they may useless when modifications go wrong.. I Will surely go through The way that anwar suggested.. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio?

That is a receiver only mod, and still requires a radio that is capable of transmitting information for more than 4 channels. In this case, looks like the OP is looking for changes to the transmitter itself, which is asking for a LOT ! Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio?

Let me check As i read about this some time.. I am not able to recollect the website.. :banghead: :banghead: Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: anwar on February 17, 2013, 03:04:49 PM There are cases where this has been done. The recent and well known example is that of the Futaba 8FG (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1395875). But those additional channels may not be useful for all purposes, and they are triggered with programmable mixes etc, hence the question about what the intended use is.
On top of that, there is need for updated firmware to support the added channels. Overall, this looks like a tall order. Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: arun.sreelakam on February 17, 2013, 03:14:58 PM Yeah...
shyam first you must reveal your intentions behind this.. So that only someone can help you... If a channel can be added to this radio then why cant rcbazzar do it and get more popularity..? :) Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: Shyam Hembram on February 17, 2013, 06:13:53 PM RCB7X RADIO have flap system but i dint find any individual switches for it.It works only as programable mixes with other controls. It also has a 3 way toggle switch,so can i use that switch individually for flap control,or can i modify that switch
Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: anwar on February 17, 2013, 06:19:16 PM Before that, why were you looking for more channels ? Flaps seem to have nothing to do with additional channels.

It also has a 3 way toggle switch,so can i use that switch individually for flap control,or can i modify that switch If the manual I see is correct, the "FLAP SYSTEM" in "INPUT SELECT" menu can be assigned to a 2 or 3 position switch, or a rocker switch or inhibited. No need to mess with any programmable mixes. Have you gone through the manual ? Title: Re: Adding more channels to radio? Post by: Shyam Hembram on February 17, 2013, 07:34:47 PM I have found it in the rocker switch and much thanks for your information.

Since you did not respond to this question, I guess this was just a mistake on your part (seeking more channels on this radio)... and you really did not need this ? |
