Default Re: for the radio wizards

There used to be a device called Switch 8. It was a similar channel expanding set-up. Ric at PMD used to sell them. He may still. I haven't heard anything about them since a couple guys planned to use them on their radios, back on the old gt forum. Some sort of digital decoder, I think, that used one radio channel to give you 8 more functions. Not really sure how well they work.

That's what I got, MCD made them and as well in a 16 function flavor. Thought I had the 16 but just the 8. It has a linear push button panel that mounts on the TX and a module that mounts in the vehicle. I'll get some pics up, but it doesn't look anywhere near as compact as the unti above. The Switch though was made for model boaters where a scale boat that calls for something as this would be 2' and up, so size wasn't really a concern.

Just found a pic.
