Adjusting the receive frequency of the RX-8.

Press the desired RECEIVER key - a bracket will appear around the active receiver.

Press the INC key and DEC key to adjust the frequency.

In dual receive mode pressing the RECEIVER key will toggle between the A and B receiver.
The > will indicate the receiver frequency that is being adjusted.
•
Please note that all frequencies need to be within the 35MHz range of the front-end filter. If the frequency is out
of range “TOO BIG” or “TOO SMALL” will flash on the screen to warn that the difference is wider than the filter
range and the frequency will need to be adjusted.
Center Frequency Adjust
This where the center frequency of the front-end filter is set. The front-end filter is 35MHz wide so frequencies
17.5MHz above and 17.5MHz below the center frequency will be the operating range of the RX-8. MRX receivers
will need to operate within the set 35MHz window. If the frequencies aren’t within this window the RF
performance will suffer. This menu is only available in the A receiver.
Frequency Scan
An RF scan is initiated from this menu. After the scan is complete a graphical display of the RF that is present will
be shown and the RX-8 will suggest clear frequencies. The frequency can be accepted by pressing the INC key.
Pressing the DEC key will skip the first chosen frequency and the RX-8 will suggest another frequency. Please note
the RX-8 can scan 30 MHz at a time.
Scanning is only available from the A receiver.
