apocolipse commented on Tobin's blog post Clean/ lightweight way to mount radio receiver"ER9x firmware should solve your problems, its a software mixers dream. Also, a suggestion might be to solder female pins to the reciever instead of soldering direct to APM? to swap out if reciever dies or whatever"
