I would like to connect a buddy box to my exsisting Hi-TECH transmitter. I have a few "spare" transmitters lying around and would like to use one of them. They are not HI- TECH transmitters nor do they have buddy box connectors. I figure it can't be that hard to add an 8 pin DIN connector to one of these "OLD" transmitters and wire it up to be used with my buddy wired HI-Tech transmitter. Does anyone know how this can be done ? Or does anynoe have a schematic of how it is done on other brand transmitters ? Larry

Each manufacturer has their own method. JR uses an encoded signal over a simple twisted pair. Futaba uses several schemes which make some of their trainer systems incompatible with their own brand. Chances are you'll need to open the HiTec and reverse engineer the jack. Even there you don't know what the proper levels are between boxes. The days of bringing the stick pot lines from box to box seem to be gone. Now it tends to be output from before the RF stage and/or the encoder board. P.S. Your wide format can cause the fixed screen guys to not be able to read your entries. | |||||
