Title: Power adapter for HK 6ch Tx Post by: Aafi on November 23, 2011, 04:13:25 AM Hi all,
I have a HK 6ch 2.4gz Tx. While using it on SIM, I don't want to use 8 AA batteries to power it, instead I was wondering If I can connect a 12v power adapter and use it while on SIM, It has a charging port. Would like to know what type of 12v adapter is needed. Thanks.

@spitfire, can you please suggest batteries for HK Tx, one which can fit in the battery slot. @sandeep, no harm using the batteries. It is just that I don't want to use battery when I am indoors.

Would suggest LiFe battery for matched one. If you short the switch inside PCB, you can use adapter driven Tx. But Always I recommend, PLEASE Don't run Tx on Adapter, without battery, as any supply line glitch may damage your favourite Tx. and there should be some simulator cable that should have the option to drive Tx from USB Power. :D Title: Re: Power adapter for HK 6ch Tx Post by: sandeepm on November 24, 2011, 10:46:01 AM Don't use Adapter specially 12 V directly on TX as any spike may damage your tx. if you want to use, use idea of kalyan by shorting the switch, but use only 9V adapter.
