Really the ques is what does operating two radios on same freq look like to the rcvr? Is it a 'clean signal' that causes the rcvr to go WOT cause signal is out of tolerance or somehow otherwise out of spec?

Or is it what the rx sees a form of interference that scrambles the signal and causes the run away?

Easiest way I know to figure this out is to try it - take RC and put it on blocks where it can't get hurt and turn tx and rx on and make sure its working, then turn another tx on on the same freq and see what the failsafe does. This is no diff that teting the failsafe after setup by turning the tx off.
I think that 's the only way to truly tell. It's not a big deal for me; I just want some added protection if some one turns on there radio in the pits with the same frequency. And sense so many people are on 2.4 ghz the odds have been greatly reduce; but some guys are not as precautions of this for the same reason everybody on 2.4 ghz.

The other problem I have is when I do turnoff my Tx with the fail safe attatched my steering servo goes crazy.

Well gentlemen thank you for all of your input. I will research this further.


Pass you soon...
