On Radiomaster, quite a few of us at Datchet notice a little shimmering on the mainsheet winch… a little shiver or judder. You can feel it best with your fingertip on top of the winch drum screw. It doesn’t seem to present any issues while sailing, but it would be nice to get rid of it. It happens not when sheeted right in or out, but is there in the centre on the mainsheet travel.

Our man in Australia says to try replacing our ceramic antenna ERC receivers with an ER6. NB has done this on the VISS.

However, this weekend, PH suggested he has found the answer by setting the Transmitter packet rate from the original 500/sec to 333/sec.

Very easy to do. Go to the ExpressLRS button of your transmitter system page.

Just access your ExpressLRS button on the Transmitter software to see where you adjust the PacketTransmission Rate.

You can see the field you need to change in this blocked are of the photo. Try that on “333 Full” and see what you get.

I’ve tried this on an ER5Ci receiver with a TX15 this morning. I’d swear my shimmering winch is reduced, but sadly not completely eliminated. It might be specific to the TX15 – we just don’t know yet.
