If FlySky isnt respecting the Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum to keep shared channels and bands clean and clear from interference, that is a major issue. FHSS is an international standard, and if they are fudging the standard for some reason, then it needs to be addressed. It isnt other peoples problem that his equipment isnt following international broadcast standards and is affecting their transmitters. Places like the FCC frown on that heavily.

Dynamic Frequency Hopping, IEEE Standard 802.22
It is a requirement that you follow these protocols in your specific implementation of Frequency Hopping, regardless of what you call it, and how you do it, so that all devices can share the same airspace. Inter Device Compatibility is not required, but following specifically laid out international guidelines so they can all work in the same space together...IS.
You guys are getting way to butthurt over someone saying your radio has an issue with a specific receiver.
At no point did anyone appoint blame to FlySky, dont put words in anyones mouth.
What was said is that if it is the cause, that is a problem that should be addressed, because it is a bigger issue than just "muh radio dun werk"
Go clutch your pearls elsewhere.

Note what this article is titled. FHSS is a standard, and is not a proprietary trademark of Futaba.
In the US, since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) amended rules to allow FHSS systems in the unregulated 2.4 GHz band, many consumer devices in that band have employed various FHSS modes. eFCC CFR 47 part 15.247 covers the regulations in the US for 902–928 MHz, 2400–2483.5 MHz, and 5725–5850 MHz bands, and the requirements for frequency hopping.
Some walkie-talkies that employ FHSS technology have been developed for unlicensed use on the 900 MHz band. FHSS technology is also used in many hobby transmitters and receivers used for radio-controlled model cars, airplanes, and drones. A type of multiple access is achieved allowing hundreds of transmitter/receiver pairs to be operated simultaneously on the same band, in contrast to previous FM or AM radio-controlled systems that had limited simultaneous channels.

Your link actually proves their point, maybe when you quickly googled the subject in hopes of "winning" you overlooked this.
"Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) is a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly changing the carrier frequency among many distinct frequencies occupying a large spectral band."
I don't recall hearing anyone speak via the mouth here but didn't you write:
No? Ooooookay.
I don't recall anyone making that argument, except for the "standard" part. However, Futaba DOES IN FACT market their RX as FHSS so in that case the protocol is proprietary to the their brand. It's really not a mind bender.

How exactly is pointing out what FHSS is, a "gotcha"?
I dont recall anyone asking for your opinion either, but here we are.
Seeing as how you LOOOOOVE to be so pedantic...i said that in response to YOU saying...
THEIR problem, as in the other peoples radios browning out is their gear being faulty. Far from it. If one persons radio is causing others to brown out around it and glitch, then it is the fault of the radio causing the glitching, that clearly isnt following proper FHSS standards, and walking over the other radios.
You also said...
Its not a mind bender to realize what i am saying either, but you insist on failing basic reading comprehension, and insist on arguing. Maybe you should change your username to "Pedantic Twit" instead of Werty Yui?

Bottom line is, your original and subsequent posts are 95% wrong and you're hurt over that. For some reason you're pissed off at Flysky and how they allegedly broke "standards" yet we are all still waiting for your links backing your claims. The dunce of the week award has your name all over it, nice work!

I mostly didn't bother reading

If anything, it seems that you are the one who is upset that someone dare besmirch your beloved FlySky for having a technical problem that brownouts other radios.
Maybe you should send your Resume to FlySky and see if you can become their new PR Person. Youre doing a bang up job representing their products and shilling for them.
Or maybe you should just go outside and touch grass?

Technically, this doesn't have to do with the NB4...but, I just thought I'd mention it, due to the similarity. Not sure how many in here know what an EDL (electronic driver's log) is...but, they are found on commercial vehicles for companies that have been approved by the DOT to switch from paper logs. Anyway, the company I drove for uses units from Saucon. While the newer units appear to work without any problems, the older units tend to have this exact same "black screen" problem...and, the 'solution' is also the same ("reboot", and the problem doesn't happen again for at least a couple weeks). As the same software updates are pushed out to the old and new units, alike, that would lead me to believe that the problem is not software related...it would have to either be a hardware problem, or a BIOS problem.
For those having the "black screen" problem with the NB4, are yours one of the more-recently-manufactured units, or one of the older-manufactured units? If this problem is affecting only the older units, it could be similar to the Saucon problem, Which would lead me to believe that, at some point, FlySky either switched certain components to more updated components and/or the BIOS (or equivalent of BIOS) is different than the BIOS in newer units. This is just a theory...but, it could be an 'accurate' one.
