Spektrum – Another Good Item on Setting up Program Mixers !!

Leave a reply

We have written about this a couple of times before, but until there’s time for us to get an up to date radio sailors manual written for the Spektrum take a look at this.

This website has an online link to a very good (US) radio sailors manual for the Spektrum DX6E. However, I think that the DX6E cannot do program mixing. The later DX8 and DX9 have it though. Program mixing enables you to implement “pinch and puff” modes on left-right throttle stick (mainsheet stick) movements.

Using “Program Mixing” or “Power Mixing” on Futaba T6K….!!

Leave a reply

A few days ago, we published a piece on a relatively advanced idea of using the Program Mixer function (also known as “Channel Mixers” and “Power Mixers”) and on the Futaba menu it is shown as “P.MIX”.

We have a feeling that maybe only recent Futaba T6K transmitters have P.MIX software built in. My own transmitter is a T6K Version 3. It has P.MIX. The manual that came with the transmitter in 2023 turns out to be a manual for Version 2…. so no P.MIX instructions.

We’ve looked online for a version 3 manual without success, so far.

If you want to read up about P.MIX instructions, what you do is find a manual online for the T10J transmitter. The “Program Mixing” instruction pages start at Page 53. The T6K seems to have the first four channel mixers, though not the 5th and 6th mixer (with curves) that the T10J transmitter has. So if you feel happier using a Futaba manual as you tweak, then use these pages to guide you.
