FrSky Wireless buddy box issue

[Wookman]

I have two Q7s txs with the blue tooth wireless trainer system. I am a bit of a novice with Opentx but with a bit of help from the usual online sources I managed to get all working.

The problem is that when you turn everything off the instructor tx looses the blue tooth connection to the pupil tx. I would have expected the blue tooth to reconnect when the txs were switched on again but it does not. It’s not too difficult to hook it up again so isn’t a major issue.
Is that the way it meant to be or should it remember the blue tooth connection?

I believe the older radios had this limitation the newer radios store the previous connection so you just say yes. One of the issues is at our field is that pilots phones have Bluetooth turned on so you see a lot of potential Bluetooth sources while trying to connect.

Thanks Henny.
I had hoped they would stay connected but it is no great hardship to reconnect when required. I am using the set up on a slope soarer so hopefully it will not be too cluttered with Bluetooth signals in that environment.

Correct Power-On Order: Turn on the Pupil (Slave) TX first, wait for it to fully boot, then turn on the Instructor (Master) TX.

This turns out to be the cure.
