M+ as a redundant receiver.

[Woodstock1]

I am currently flying SR8 pro access receiver and have been flying that for several months using A current sensor to count milliamps. I decided to use an M plus access receiver as redundant to SR 8. While flying it today somehow the telemetry reporting switched to the M plus and I lost the telemetry from the SR8 receiver causing a loss in the count of milliamps consumed ,which killed a battery. while using an M+ as a back up receiver to the SR8. Should I have disabled the telemetry and will that illuminate the loss of the sr8 telemetry. Or am I missing something else. Kiwi4

Very effective demo.

I suppose what we're seeing in this case is that the primary receiver simply has no reception whatever at the point of apparent RSSI switchover.

Reading Rick's post above again, the RSSI switchover may be unexpected. That said, I know that in some cases telemetry can be logged from multiple receivers simultaneously. That's on ACCESS only, if I'm not mistaken. Now it seems we can say that the RSSI reported on the transmitter may switch under at least one condition: total loss of reception of the primary with ACCESS.

I find it difficult to keep track of the various redundancy scenarios. Or, to be more accurate, what we know about various redundancy scenarios.
