The new transmitter has a trainer port which is great since it allowed me to sell my Futaba 14SG and get enough to buy a whole new Phantom 2 (almost)! I was only using the Futaba for use with the LightBridge. When V2 came out, I didn't need the big expensive Tx since this one promised to solve the "no trainer port" issue. The thing is, with the Futaba, I ALWAYS made sure to turn off the RF so as not to interfere with the LightBridge signal (also at 2.4Gz). I thought that maybe, with the new DJI Tx, inserting a cable into the trainer port on the new DJI Tx would possibly disable RF. Turns out that is not the case. It still works as a normal transmitter even with trainer cable plugged in and then into LB.
This may be a problem since there can be interference with the LightBridge which also uses 2.4GHz. What is the answer to this? Will DJI issue an update to turn off RF when the trainer port is plugged in? I am beginning to feel sorry I sold my Futaba since I am nervous flying under these circumstances. I have not yet had an issue but I am very concerned about this.
I would love to hear a response from DJI regarding this. One other thing, I don't consider switching to a 5.8GHz Tx just to eliminate interference a viable option.
Thank you.
