Just a short question:
The DC-16 toggels the sending operation between the two HF modules, so one is sending, while the other one is idle.
Do you use the idle HF module to receive the broadcasted information of the active HF module and compare the decoded data to the modules input to detect a possible problem in the HF-modules? This would be kind of a self-testing feature that would be really unique in the market.

It's great to have redundancy by toggling the HF-modules, but it would be even greater to get a hint i case somethings is not working as expected.

Hi, the modules are alternating every 20ms, that's correct. The telemetry from sensors and Jetibox comes in both cases (normal and flipped). However, the telemetry from the receivers doesn't act like that - if the primary HF module loses connection with RX1, an alarm is activated (depending on your setting). The same goes to secondary HF module and receiver 2. So, if any module gets defected, you should know about it. And to determine which module it is, select one of the options in Wireless menu regarding to alarms of losing RX1 or RX2.
