Jr X 3810 Transmitter Manuals
Has anyone had range problems with a JR 3810? Problems with the plug-in RF Module? Been using my JR X-3810 ADT transmitter for 3 or 4 years on and off now. Always kept clean & dry and always topped up the charge and/or regularly cycled the Tx pack. I've used the Tx with 'other make' Rx's (HiTec, Futaba, Jeti, etc) and never had any probs. YESTERDAY i dumped a brand new model straight after take off (a present from 'er indoors as well!!) and then thought wise not to fly the other model i had with me me when i found it was glitching like mad when only a couple of feet from the TX!!! We had done a range check before hand on both models and all seemed ok - even on the (now demised) 'leccy model - the initial range check was fine, but when next to 2 or 3 other guys at the flight line it was TOTALLY swamped by their radios and i lost range after just a few yards - and thats with the TX aerial FULLY EXTENDED!!!!
Auto Tune Efx Crack. I even changed the crystals (3 different freq's on tx & rx) and still encountered same probs. I took it home and ranged it on the drive - still the same!
Tx meter says 10.5v. Any other users had similar probs? Cheers c had the self same problem chri, only with an ff8 futaba set, it would range check ok at home, but at the field amongst others it would glitch badly, even futaba checked and passed it for range test, i put it down to worn pins/sockets on the module from changing xtals too often, i was flying on 3 different frequencies in my planes, now i fly 74 and no more, with another ff8 and had no probs phil As Phil says it could be worn plugs/sockets. Stick it in a box (the one it came in if you still have it) write down clearly the problem and send it off to MacGregor for repair. They are very good and quick and will sort it out for you. I've never needed to return anything in 10 years of using JR gear but I know of others who have and they all say the service is 1st class.

Hi Guys - thanx for advice I have contacted MacGregor and 'terry' says that a matched set (i.e. JR tx & JR Rx) should get a range test of 70 paces (around 58 yards / 53 metres) with the Tx aerial collapsed. I dug out the original manual - and it states 20-25 metres minimum.? Anyhow - I got out my JR 9-channel PCM receiver and plugged in four servos, crystal, etc, and turned on (with Tx set to PCM obviously) and sent my son off down the street with the Tx (aerial collapsed). Must have got somewhere around the above figures (about 30-40mtrs) before lock-up. ALL SEEMS WELL?
NOW THEN -->All you mix 'n' match guys.W A T C H O U T. Back on to PPM mode, I resumed tests with the bad'un. I was using a JR X3810 TX, FUTABA 5 channel single conv. Rx with channel 64 Rx Xtal - with a green strip (I am sure this is a HiTec Xtal) but told when I bought four of these crystals that Hitec and Futaba mix OK.B E W A R E. When I changed to channel 72 (still a green 'HiTec'? Crystal) the combo did not work at all I MEAN AT ALL!!!!
Print Artist Craft Factory more. NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER - NOT A TWITCH!!!! Suspecting my 72 Xtal I then changed to a HiTec receiver with said HiTec Xtal and fine - loadsa range. I will still send my Tx off for checking 'cos when I switched back to Futaba Xtal in Futaba Rx the setup still glitched at a fairly low range test, but nowhere near as bad.
