Ethos v1.5.7 and X18, X20 series User Manual
Type: TD Mode
In TD mode the receivers operate on dual bands simultaneously. There is a constant
comparison step of data pack quality between both bands during the signal and
telemetry transmission, so the better data pack of either band will be applied every
moment to make sure the transmission is always best.
ACCESS and TD MODE change the way receivers are bound and connected with the
transmitter. The process is broken into two phases. The first phase is registering the
receiver to the radio or radios it is to be used with. Registration only needs to be
performed once between each receiver / transmitter pair. Once registered, a receiver can
be bound and re-bound wirelessly with any of the radios it is registered with, without
using the bind button on the receiver.
Having selected the TD MODE, the following parameters must be set up:
Model ID
When you create a new model, the Model ID is automatically allocated. The Model ID
must be a unique number because the Smart Match function ensures that only the
correct Model ID will be bound to. This number is sent to the receiver during binding,
so that it will then only respond to the number it was bound to. Receiver matching is
still as important as it was before ACCESS.
The Model ID can be changed manually. Note also that the Model ID is changed when
the model is cloned.
Channel range:
Since Tandem supports 24 channels, you normally choose Ch1-8, Ch1-16, Ch1-24,
Ch9-16 or Ch17-24 for the receiver being set up. Note that Ch1-16 is the default.
