Are you a mainsheet ratchet fan? I admit that I am, but at our club opinion is pretty passionately divided !!

In my transmitter collection, the Futabas have a ratchet as standard and the Spektrums have a ratchet you can switch on and off from outside the front cover (nice!).

However, I always thought that Radiomaster has no ratchet capability. It turns out that is probably true for my Radiomaster Pocket,… but if you have a Radiomaster with AG01 or AG02 CNC machined gimbals (eg Boxer or TX15 ) there is a ratchet in there. You do have to go inside to switch it on/off or adjust it though.

Ratchet and gimbal tension are both screw adjustable on a simple (crude!) pair of spring friction levers inside. You might also need a little “hack” if you find your ratchet adjustment spring sticks on the adjustment screw thread.

This little video (below) is a tour of the whole AG01 Gimbal joystick. (worth watching if you have a Radiomaster). If you skip forward to minute 4’15” you will arrive at the video section about adjusting the ratchet and gimbal tension – with the “hack” !!
