G-RX6 Update

Just saw the following posted over on RC Groups by someone from FrSky. Any idea what is meant by 'adding a small piece of sponge on the altimeter'?

The post by AndreaHuang:

G-RX6 Firmware Update
Version 181025

• Change the altimeter filtering algorithm to improve the stability
• Fixed the BUG that SPORT could not transmit 125/126

For further improving the precision and stability of the altimeter, we suggest the customers add a small piece of sponge on the altimeter. Like the packaging of the Variometer, you can also wrap the receiver with a heat shrink tubing.

Probably is dampening the reaction of the anemometer making it more stable (less reactive).

Yep, some fuelages get buffeting and that can be seen by the vario as these are very sensitive to pressure changes.
