Hi, I bought this radio recently and I was surprised that it can't use analog servos. I'm reserving my digital servos for competition so on normal days I use my analog ones. Does anybody know how to make this compatible with analog servos? Mine is shelved at the moment till my SR410 RX arrives.

Things I noticed compared to my MT4 and 2PL radios:
1. Takes a while for the TX to recognise the RX (SRS4210) when powering up.
2. RX doesn't like analog servos even when AVC is deactivated.
3. Weak throttle spring. How can I increase its tension?
4. Steering wheel is ball bearing supported.
5. Ergonomics is better than my current radios.
6. Battery hatch rattling.
7. Balance it good.
8. Fat/bulky at the top.
9. I like the push button power switch.
10. If you accidentally select bind... you have to rebind it again.
11. I'm confused on the latency selection-- 22ms or 11ms, I don't feel a thing.
12. AVC works as long as you mount RX real flat. Needs flat surface as well.
13. Traction control works.
14. Easy menu navigation.
15. Timer has no millisecond digits. No lap counter.

Wish I've gotten the DX4S instead. But for the price, it's an OK radio.
BTW it's my first Spektrum system. So what do I need to look out for?
Any symptoms that it's going to fail or something?
Somehow I feel less secured when using this radio.
