@ MJC597: I actually wondered if that were possible...but went ahead and ordered the new rcvr...will experiment with the SR200 and try the y-extension.
Paperwork that came with the transponder lists:
"Power consumption: approx 7.5mA @ 6VDC". (It's a MRT brand PTX-20)
Thank you for the advice...I'm brand new to this R/C sport -- this ECX Torment is the first R/C vehicle I've ever owned and I've only had it about 4 weeks, so I have a lot to learn.
Thank you,
