mojofunkster Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I recently pickup an IFB200 to control my TX remotely; however, I've run into an issue where the IFB200 completely overpowers the comteks with a loud tone. I've tried many different channels with the comteks with no success. I didn't think this was going to be a issue since the IFB200 is operating around 2.4GHz. Is there something I'm missing, or will I just have to kill the IFB200 when I don't need to adjust gain or frequencies? Thanks.

Derek H Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Try powering the IFB200 from a separate power source. Try reducing the IFB200 power setting a notch or two. which Comtek transmitter are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojofunkster Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm using the M-216 P7 which is running off of a 9v. I'll try adjusting the power settings on the IFB200.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeah try setting it to 5 maybe. You might have better luck using the BST-75 216 transmitter which has better shielding and a balanced input. For kicks, try wrapping the M216 in tin-foil, you might be surprised.

Jack Norflus Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Physically separate the ifb200 and comtek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blankenship Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Along with what's already been mentioned (such as power level 5), moving the antennas, sometimes even a little bit, can have an affect, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 It sounds like the Comtek transmitter plastic body let's certain RF leak through. If a cell phone is next to the transmitter, it can leak noise through too. They're not *really* meant for our uses. Some people have tried to put them in some sort of shielded pouch, but I don't know how well that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sndspd Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Black wrap wrapping the TX with at least a foot or more (The more distance the better) of separation from the IFB200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
