Doesn't the Interlink require PCM?

 

[vitek]

I think there are a few requirements. These requirements are similar to those for buddy boxing...

1. There must be a buddy box port to join the Interlink to the Radio.
2. There must be a cable to connect the Interlink to the buddy box port.
3. The radio must output a standard PPM signal through that connector.

According to the documentation, it is capable of buddy boxing with existing JR radio systems, so conditions 1 and 3 are satisfied. Unfortunately the documentation says that it requires a special cable. If the cable is not a standard one that you have already, you may need to make an adapter or buy a cable.

Thanks, but still confused if it will work?

 

[vitek]

I told you everything I know. We don't have one to test with. I'm pretty sure it will work, but there is a caveat...

If the cable is not a standard one that you have already, you may need to make an adapter or buy a cable.

Thanks for the help.

Well, I know for one thing that the DX6 has a DSC plug like my 6102, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I should have tried it when I had the chance.

I got my DX6 to fly with it.

Does it work with g3? You should know by now.

Look up 1 post. My Spektrum works.
