Just setting up my car right now, does the PT go into channell 3 or the Batt slot on the reciever?

you can also put your transponder in the bumper for faster times.

Still love the Helios it is the best radio out IMHO. I think it won't matter if the Modual is in the radio or not. Once you switch the power off you basicly remove the batteries from the radio.

i have been told that if you are going to leave the radio for long periods of time you should remove the cells from the radio as they can leak and mess up the radio.
what are you opinions about charging cells in the Vantage? should i charge them in the radio or on a seperate stand alone charger?

I am always reluctant to charge my cells in the radio. Only becasue I wathc a friends M8 melt....literaly...
I use my old Purple Super brain for that task or the second charge port designed for reciever packs on my GM COmmander.
It is just safer than charging while it is in the radio.
If you do charge in the radio I would keep an eye on it.

Remember most of those chargers are not peak detect so they keep on charging regaurdless.

Is there any decent spec AA cell chargers about??? thats one thing i could really do with as you never quite know how much to charge them. If the charger recommends 16 hours its usually based on a lower capacity cell than a 2300 or a 2500......

I have heard people say that the Spektrum slows the transmitter reponce I say I can not tell the difference between the HRS and Spektrum, both feel very responcive and controled.
Just my $0.02
