In the last few days, I've added/edited the following topics:

Encoder - how to fit - Spectrum:

Thanks to Mick Regan for his original guide to setting up the Futaba and TBS 5. I'll copy the relevant bits of those posts into the Encoder - Futaba topic.

As ever (and particularly with this subject), comments, corrections, additions welcome.

you mention the encoder works on the dx6 dx7 dx9 and dx18
what about the dx8

[Stephen White]

DX8 Gen 1 and Gen 2 are fine. I believe the budget DX8e is not compatible or at least that there have been problems. Someone who knows better might correct me. I use a DX8 on my Cent but am about to install my Taranis software defined radio.

[Gian Marco Menozzi]

on the Dx 6, the encoder cannot be mounted, it has only 4 proportional channels, the other 2 are only on / off with 3 positions, at least on my DX6 2 series

Thanks Stephen
I have to check now to see if my Spektrum Transmitter is a Dx8 or a Dx8e and if it is a Dx8e I will have to research the compatibility and issues more and see what i can find
I will get back to you on this forum when i have some more info
