Title: 2.4 GHz General enquiry (binding)
Post by: RaaArtyGunner on October 26, 2011, 11:31:50 am
Have been following and if my understanding is correct, that when using 2.4 sets the

1. Received has to be bound to the transmitter
2. At least two transmitters can be bound to the same transmitter

My enquiry is,
1. Is binding required to be done each and every time you sail, namely each time you "switch" on.

NO.  You only need to Bind once.  You can bind as many Receivers as you like, but don't switch them all on at the lake.  (on the bench is fun !!)

Thank you Ken. :-)) :-))

To make sure, once the receiver is bound to the transmitter, the transmitter will remember that receiver each time that receiver is turned on.
As you say don't turn them on all together.

I have seen someone running two boats from one transmitter - not strictly simultaneously - a yacht and its rescue boat. Two at once might require better than average coordination.

Strictly speaking, when considering binding, its the receiver that remembers the transmitter.  Some transmitters can remember settings for several different particular models.  The transmitter doesn't care how many receivers are bound to it, it just sends signals out there whether there are no receivers listening, or hundreds.  A bit like a TV celebrity enjoying the sounds of his/her own voice.

Wouldn't be much different from trying to run a club meeting.  Or herding tomcats.  :-))
