Converting a XJT into an XHT for vintage radios

[Jay1977]

Ah shit. How much does your local guy want for it. Would you be interested in shipping it to me. I dont even know if you can right now. I have a few packages that are being held in Germany right now

 

[Kilrah]

Yeah would be possible, they want CHF 53.85 which is about $57.

Hebu Shop

Don't know where you are, I assumed USA and while the address selection lets you select that there are then no shipping options available. Maybe you can contact them and they can sort it out,

 

[Jay1977]

Yes sir Im in the US. I will email them and see if they'll ship it. If not I can send you the money. Is that something you would be able to do. Thanks

 

[Kilrah]

Yep, would just add another $30 or so for shipping from them to me and out to you.

We may have them here in a week..

 

[Jay1977]

Thanks Wayne. If you guys get them please post here.

 

[Jay1977]

Hey Wayne, you guys looking to get the dash board in this week.

I have talked with FrSky about the Dashboard as they have discontinued it. I wanted to see if I could talk them into producing them again. Basically they would need to make 1000 units of them as a minimum and they don't they they could sell that many. So it does not look good. Hunt around and you may find a hobby shop that bought some and they are sitting collecting dust..

 

[Jay1977]

Dang that sucks. Thanks for checking on it for me though.

 

[Kilrah]

It's kinda weird they'd invest into making the XHT but not make more FSD's along with them.
A lot of people use XJTs in radios that support telemetry and thus don't need an FSD, but the XHT seems like it would mostly go to people who would need one if they want telemetry.

 

[Jay1977]

Thats exactly where I am. I like taking older gear and making it work. I know its sometimes more expensive than just buying a radio that has everything i need but im hard headed i guess. Kilrah it looks like ill be sending you the funds for the dashboard you can get. I can't find any cheaper. Heres my email. rjc19777@gmail.com

 

[Kilrah]

Did you try contacting/ordering directly from the seller I pointed to already?

I have done a JR 6201, 7201 & hard wiring a x9303 from DSM2 to FrSky. It is literally 3 wires. What do You need help with. Jay

 

[bracesport]

@Jay1977 - apart from the wiring what else do you need - something like the JP4in1 MPM?
it would be great to output D16 for my FRsky Rx's

 

[Jay1977]

What module do You have. I used an XJT so i kept the telemetry intact

 

[bracesport]

I have the JP4in1 - external and internal versions.

I had a look at the FRsky XJT lite, would that be a good module to get?

If you are converting your Jr radio you might want to check out XHT. It replaces their DHT module. I will be putting one of the DHT i got into my Airtronics Stylus...

 

[bracesport]

@gp49 - I will check it out!
