am i cursed? am i!!!

[Britishguy]

the xg8 i bought last month has already popped a ra01t satilite

ive only used it for around 2 hours flying and i have been more than gentle with it due to the cost.

[rickp]

what do you mean by ';popped';?

[Britishguy]

just doesnt work anymore, just flashes, i know its that because i have a spare receiver with sat.

[rickp]

Oh dear Not had any problem with my 2 receivers yet. Have you spoken to McGregor?

[Britishguy]

just emailed them

do you run dmss?

[rickp]

I assume so. I';m using JR XG8 and RG831B receivers.

[Britishguy]

yes dmss then

[Britishguy]

it just annoys me due to the fact these receivers are £80 a go and satellite has lasted for only 6 flights

but then i know sometimes you can just get a funky one

trust me to get it lol

[rickp]

Infant mortality. Shame - both my RXes have been fine - hope this hasn';t jinxed ';em!

[Britishguy]

well i still love my radio, so moving on

sent the satellite back and chilling out.

im sure your will fine, i guess i was unlucky on this one, happens to the best of us.

[Britishguy]

out of interest what range are you getting in range check?

thought i was the only one on here with an xg8 :)
