THEMA:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
it is really a pity that you have no options in the DC-16, record the receiving quality by telemetry.
Other systems, such as Spektrum and HOTT support this possibility.
Is the logging level of the relative receiving (RX Level Ant 1 and Ant 2) planned in the near future?

Sincerely yours
Peter

Hallo,

why do you need this ? Futaba etc. also does not have this.

At DC-16 you can controll RX antenna signal via trigger switch. What is the advantage of logging antenna signal and looking in the evening the logs at PC? You then do not know in which flight situation the aircraft was. Also you have the warning "week signal".

For me it is more important to use sometimes - especially with new aircrafts - the trigger RX antenna switch. So I can heare Rx signal in that spezific flight-condition where I want to know the RX signal.

If it is planed from Jeti ? Do not know.

PW

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.

"... At DC-16 you can controll RX antenna signal via the trigger switch. What is the advantage of logging antenna signal in the evening and looking at the logs PC? Then You do not know Which flight situation in which the aircraft. So you have the warning "way signal". ..."

The one with the trigger switch is known to me.
My concern with problems but that also afterwards if necessary to control the receive path and included in the error analysis.
I find that important!

greeting
Peter

Hi Edger,

if you have a crash your plane is dead... if you have a signal loss, you get the warning "Signal Loss" and then the planes will crash.

You can controll with the trigger switch your RX antennas and you can controll in this situations where you want.

If you for example have a logg,, what will help you if you could see "antenna 1 = 1" in 400 m ? You did not remember the flight path of your plane.

For me it makes no special help. I switch the trigger switch and than i know both signals and I can remember the flight path of the aircraft excatly. Later at a PC I did not remember ...

Ok.. my way of thinking. Sometimes I must ask how we could fly the last 30 years without logging..

Hi Peter,

you' re right, this is your way of thinking

But mind, in combination with logged GPS data transfered to Google Earth you'll get an excellent way of visualistion your flight.

May be that the A1 & A2 level information is not so important for helicopter or conventional motor airplanes, but for large gliders flying at high altitude, or in the mountais with valleys, this will be a usefull information to optimize RX antenna positions and helps to prevent signal losing.

Hello PW,

friendly spoken, I think it is not the way how things should be discussed here in the area " comments to Jeti ".

We like all your professional comments in the other threat areas, but here it has a touch of, "I (PW) do not see an advantage for myself, so why should have others an advantage out of this".

It is just a feeling and I think this is not your intention

This discussion of antenna quality logging like it is done by HoTT, Weatronic an Co is popping up several time. In the german areas it is said bring it up to Jeti. If enough people are requesting it, it might has a chance that it becomes implemented.

So my wish please accept the wishes of the users.

And it has an advantage if we get here real receiver signal quality information transmitted and recorded. Both is possible from the technical point of view.

Benefits:
1. optimize receiver and antenna positions
2. identify antenna problems (e.g. slake joints, mechanical damages caused by vibrations in motor planes)
3. identify signal shading by carbon wings etc.
4. failsave analysis, why and when the receiver went into faulsafe. Here an information like latency or package lost is from interest too.

And from my personal experience I used those information while I had Weatronic and HoTT before.

I can understand and support the wish from the colleagues if they would have the antenna information logged.

Thanks and greetz
