Had to make own xmitters to fly in 1955, flew at torry pines, while back 1957. just finished moding an ELf HL ,to clean it up. Need to keep HL arm working.. Only 85 yrs young...
Some one said the silver 7 type tx wouldnt work with Frske ! Didnt make sense? Same ms pulse to RF deck? So far i havent ben able to get the modulation from a 3ch Hitec tx to activate an XJT tx deck correctly. It mates to an X8R rec, -green light, but dont move servo ,
ocili scope shoes pulses? Feild strength meter shoes RF ....Need to goback and look at micro po 8000 pulses...still trying to learn frske tx...

Hey Charlie - Just need to track down a good PPM signal from the radio and you should be good to go. Sometimes this is tricky to find. Do you know what the transmitter model is you are trying to convert? I'll see if I can find anything about it.

Anyone remember the vacuum tube testers you would see at the 7-11 stores back in the early 60's?

San Mateo electronics still has one and it is actually functional.

My Carver amp still uses tubes. Now thar's an oxymoron, tube amp with digital media!

My Dad had a tester and a bunch of tubes until he retired, he didn't want to pay the movers to move them.
