Hello all!
I'm using some older RC4 series 2 wireless gear in a prop. The details of that are not that important. I've used RC4 a fair amount over the years and had very little trouble.
In this situation, I was finding that I was regularly losing control of the prop.
Upon further investigation, it appears as though the transmitter is regularly "rebooting" itself at about 1 minute intervals which means that it finds a new 2.4 ghz frequency. That subsequently makes the dimmer module search for that new frequency. Once they "handshake", everything is good again - for about 30 seconds which is when the transmitter reboots again.
This only seems to happen after the transmitter is powered up for about 30 minutes.
Is this a known issue?
Does this mean that the transmitter is failing?
I have an email into tech support at RC4, but I have no idea how responsive they are to support inquiries.
