Its not really a big deal... just quirky. The hardware seems fine, the software needs some tweaks done to the UI. Maybe there is a way to flash the firmware with updated code?
I like your dim mod Tony! Any links with info on how to do it?
Sean, tweaking software is beyond my abilities, but I've heard of it being done. Matt [fpsfoto] told me recently that he re-did the thang to keep the screen on longer. He may have some "ways" to deal with this & other software tweaks.
I would imagine that the autodim was configured as a battery-saver function- it takes 8 AA's in series to achieve operating voltage but only has the capacity of a single AA. I installed a 2S 2200 mAh lipo ( again with no issues even 'tho some have said that the higher voltage of the 2S pack is destructive to the Tx ). BTW I tried switching models without turning off/on the Tx and it appears that the trim settings WERE preserved. I'll play with it some more to further investigate.
I did the LED mod with a Radio Shack on/off switch, LED holder, Flashing LED & a 330 ohm resistor. Was tricky to find room inside for back of on/off switch.
