unique fail-safe system called SmartSafe that makes it ideal for electric models. Fail-safe
positions for all channels are stored during binding. If the receiver is turned on before the
transmitter, all channels except for the throttle will acquire their programmed fail-safe position.
The receiver, however, will not output a signal to the throttle channel, preventing the electronic
speed controller from arming. When the transmitter is turned on and the throttle is placed in the
low throttle position, the receiver transmits a low throttle signal to the throttle channel, allowing
the speed control to arm. After connection, if the signal is lost, the throttle will go to its preset
position (low throttle) while all other channels will hold their last command.
Is the DX6 a good radio for my T-REX?
There are hundreds of customers using the DX6 in mini and micro helicopters that are reporting
glitch-free performance. Mini electric helicopters sometimes present RF noise issues that can be
difficult to eliminate with some 72MHz systems. The DX6 operates on 2.4GHz, well above the
frequency where the interference is being generated. Mini helicopters using Spektrum DX6 are
immune to this type of radio interference. The DX6 offers two throttle and three pitch curves, and
most find this perfect for 3D heli flying.
Why two receiver antennas and why are they so short?
The AR6000 is actually two receivers in one. Each antenna is actually attached to its own
receiver and, in operation, the DX6 transmitter is transmitting on two frequencies and the receiver
is receiving on two frequencies, giving dual path security. The wavelength of 2.4GHz is much
shorter than 72MHz and that is why the antennas are so short. Most modelers find the short
antennas much easier to install in their model.
When I quickly turn off my DX6, then turn it back on, it takes about 5 to 7 seconds for the system
to reconnect. If I lose the signal in flight, will it take that long to regain control of my model?
If the signal is lost after the system is connected, it will take less than 4ms. (4/1000 of a second)
to regain control. But, by turning off the transmitter then back on, you cause the transmitter to
scan the 2.4GHz band; find two new open channels; then transmit on those channels; then the
receiver must search and find those signals (GUID) on the new frequencies. This takes about 5 to
7 seconds, which is why it takes so long for your system to reconnect when the transmitter is
turned off.
Can I fast charge my DX6?
Yes, just remember that the polarity is center pin negative (like JR) and that it is necessary to use
a charge lead that has center pin negative polarity. The maximum recommended charge rate is
1200mAh. Be sure to use a good quality charger that is designed to charge Nicads.
How much current does the AR6000 receiver draw?
The receiver itself draws about 40mA.
How many models will my DX6 memory hold?
The DX6 has 6-model memory and can store any combination of up to 6 helicopters and
airplanes.
What is Dual Link?
Dual Link is a breakthrough, patented feature that was first incorporated in the DX6 aircraft
system. Dual Link offers the security of two-path RF redundancy. The AR6000 is actually two
receivers in one. The DX6 transmitter transmits on two frequencies simultaneously while the
receiver receives and decodes both sets of information. Should one signal be blocked or corrupted
or should one receiver malfunction in flight, the other frequency or receiver will take over. Dual
