Yes, I had this happen with the LRP speedo. Apparently it only puts out 5.8v while the rest of the speedos out there puts out 6v. So if you run a digital servo and a LRP speedo, it doesn't have enough voltage to constantly feed to the personal transponder, therefore the transponder is on and off. I run KO equipment so the 301F receiver suffers from this, but the new 302F receiver's got a new circuitry inside that sustain the necessary 6v. I'm going to try that out this weekend and see if that fix the skipping transponder problem I'll keep you guys posted.
