Servo chattering

[thor]

Farlan,

That is a single conversion crystal receiver. In some cases they work better with a frequency that is in the middle of the spectrum. A lot depends on the neighboring components. If all else fails try a new Tx & Rx crystal on a lower channel.

Well, unfortunately, that's all I have.......

VEX system only has 2 sets of add on crystals, set A #65, 69, 81, 85. Set B no ware to be find.
you could use Futaba crystal, but you have to shoe horn it in.
Try digital servo, it fix my 433MHz system problems. Digital servo now are cheap.
I have set A, could lone you the #69 set.

Farlan,

Bob should be able to get you a channel 65 crystal for the TX. I'll see what we can find for the Rx.

Is a tx, rx set , single conversion.
So 65 then

The saga continues.

Since I am a stubborn person (my wife would agree) I decided to try my old radio (HiTec Laser 4) and the SL8 RX. It now works without any chattering. I have discovered that RC electronics operate with F.M. F.M.? In the early 1980’s as a young police officer, we started using computers for report writing. When I asked the LT how the reports are uploaded to our database, he said it was F.M. When I inquired what that meant, he said “Fu*#$ing Magic! So now, that’s my explanation for RC sub electronics! I'm still soldiering on................
