"Also in Mission Planner it shows Sats as 0 - so I don't think it is downloading anything."

"Thanks for the reply- this is taoglas model.  I believe it has an internal antenna.  I never had a problem getting a fairly quick lock before.   But I am in quite a bit different part of the country now.  I feel pretty sure it was longer than 30…"

Fred LeFevre commented on Felix Meissner's blog post setting up 6 different flight modes on a Spektrum DX7 using just one channel
"Cody - you can see my posts above.  I am a complete novice - so wish me like when I get the new Taranis.  I followed the instructions carefully and works great using the Rudder and Flaps Switches.  6 modes no problem.  I suggest setting up another…"
