No.

If you want to connect Trio servos which are the only ones we control via RS232 you need a COM Extender.

If you are using MGL servos you need the CAN bus. Have a look at the servo and AP manuals.

This is usually caused by RF feedback - just a little not big enough to start the howling you get in bad cases. Effectively transmitted signal is getting back into your microphone leads to the radio. Make sure you are using shielded cables and the shields are used in the correct manner (i.e. they ar...

Yes but you likely want the Blaze which is the same physical size. Vega is the 2.25" range.

That sounds very odd - I have never heard that you need to remove your equipment and send to us for servicing in order to maintain warranty. Warranty is normally handled by individual distributors that have their own policies that tend to differ from ours. We offer a 1 year guarantee on components a...

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that our employee Koos Truter has passed on today. Koos was MGL's first employee and joined us over 17 years ago in November 2005 soon after MGL moved from Johannesburg to the lovely town of Somerset West close to Cape Town. Koos has been incredibly l...

That very much sounds like a grounding issue related to your RDAC. The time variation you experience are likely directly related to your battery charging current which in this case mask the issue at first - but as the current gets less the RDAC's ground potential moves further from that of the engin...

Yes, just connect them both...

That's quite some clever SDR you've got going. Silly question, but how hard would it be to get to the 157MHz frequencies so this radio could also work for marine VHF? In principle yes but it would need some modifications - that big silver rectangle you see on the PCB close to the antenna connector ...

70mA is about right for an analog radio. The V16 is digital - most of the current is used to run the fast CPU which has to process the radio signals at high speed in the digital domain. Second in line for current is the digital PLL circuit that creates the reference clocks (digital oscillators run a...

The v16 manual says this about the supply current: RX: 0.3A at 13.8V, TX: 2.5A at 13.8V, TX into 50 ohm dummy load. However, it's not clear to me if the RX load is while driving a speaker, driving headphones, or simply in idle state waiting for an incoming transmission. I fly gliders, so having a m...
