- Page 21 ACTORY RESETS The factory presets in the RBRX1 should provide excellent results without any modification, but user adjustments to these presets allow some of the trade-offs (for example between bandwidth and noise) to be tweaked. V1 contains the following factory presets.
- Page 22 Trigger Inputs The RBRX1 has four opto-coupled inputs which allow external signals to change the MPX source or the current preset. The inputs are activated by pulling the pin low. If more than one trigger is active at the same time and configured to produce conflicting behaviour, the lower trigger number gets priority (external triggers are higher priority than internal triggers).
