Patented Dual-Path Signal Redundancy
Every 2.4GHz receiver, DSM-based or not, has to deal with two technical
problems common to all 2.4GHz signals - reflected signal fading and polarization
blind spots at long range from the transmitter. Both of these problems, if
not properly addressed, could mean the end of a model. Only patented Spektrum
MultiLink™ receiver technology provides you with the best way to deal with both.
Eliminates Reflected Signal Fading
Reflected signal fading occurs when a 2.4GHz signal is cancelled out at the
receiver by its reflection bouncing off a conductive surface. If the signal
reflection arrives at the receiver exactly 180 degrees out of phase from the
original signal the result is the same as a noise cancelling headset - silence.
That's a real problem if you're only using one receiver.
Only Spektrum MultiLink receivers give you the protection of a main receiver connected
to one or more satellite receivers. By mounting the smaller satellite receivers away from
the main receiver in different orientations, the odds of all of them experiencing signal
reflection at the same time are reduced to a statistical impossibility. No single receiver
can come close to providing that kind of protection.
Eliminates Receiver Blind Spots
The farther a 2.4GHz receiver operates from its transmitter the greater the
chances of signal loss when its antenna is pointed directly at the transmitter. This
is referred to as a polarization blind spot. By using multiple receivers with different
antenna orientations, the dual path diversity of MultiLink ensures that one or
more will always be able to clearly "see" the signal.
About Single Spektrum Receivers
Spektrum single receivers are designed exclusively for use in smaller RC
aircraft such as parkflyers and ultra micro aircraft that use materials which create
little, if any, signal reflection. Also, these models are almost always flown close
enough to their transmitters that the size and effect of antenna blind spots are minimal.
ServoSync™
All Spektrum transmitters with programmable mixing feature ServoSync™ an
ingenious feature that automatically re-sequences the bits of data being
transmitted based on the type of mixing you select.* If you select dual elevator
mixing or 3-servo CCPM, ServoSync will see to it that those servos working together
receive their pulses together. The result is more synchronized servo movement
which translates into an undeniable, locked-in feel when you fly.
Advance Spektrum Features: Surface
Spektrum Pro Series modules and receivers offer performance enthusiasts
the speed, durability and precision that is necessary to win at all levels.
A special conformal coating, called ReliaKote™, has been designed for the
receivers, along with all-new cases. These updates make Spektrum Pro
Series receivers both water-and-fuel-resistant. Another update that
debuted in the Pro Series receivers and that since has been incorporated
into the Original Series receivers is updated firmware that eliminates
the possibility of an Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), sending the receiver
into Failsafe mode when racing on carpet. Finally for those looking for the
smallest receiver possible, a new SR3500 Micro Receiver has been developed.
Weighing in at a scant 6.5 grams and measuring just 1.06 x .78 x .48 inches,
the SR3500 is the perfect combination of performance and reliability in a
miniscule package. All the SR3500 Micro Receiver's features are identical to the
Spektrum Pro series receivers, minus telemetry capability.
Racers who equip their vehicles with Spektrum equipment can take advantage
of real-time telemetry for the ultimate competitive edge. With Spektrum Telemetry
Modules, racers can keep track of RPM, voltage, signal strength and temperature
all from the convenience of the handheld unit. The addition of the Telemetry
modules to any racecar will make testing even more valuable and provide more
relevant data. For nitro racers, your pit man can now make the appropriate carburetor
changes on the fly thanks to knowing exactly what the running temperature of the head is.
