How is the Spektrum AR636 powered?

[rumobritt]

I have used the Spektrum AR410 with an esc and bec with the bec power plug placed in the batt port. When I look at the inputs for the Spektrum AR636 according to the manual, port on far left is for binding, port 1 for throttle, port 2 for aileron, port 3 for elevator, and port 4 for rudder. Remaining ports are for aux inputs.

Where does the AR636 get its power? my bec plug seems useless.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Hello,

This Forum was intended for the discussion of Amateur radio for new Hams, rather than about remote control transmitter-receivers for remotely controlled model planes, but let me give this a try.

By the way, most people here are probably not that familiar with terms like “bec” (battery eliminator circuit), or esc (electronic speed controllers).

It is my understanding that most receivers like the Spektrum AR636 do not use a separate, dedicated power input line, but utilize DC blocking capacitors on their channels, so that direct current power can power the receiver by route of any open available channel on the AR636 receiver package, like its auxiliary input channels.

I hope that this information is of some help to you.

If you have any further questions (hopefully pertaining to Amateur Radio), feel free to post them!
