Tony Johnson Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi I have just bought a trx743 and cannot get the battery meter on my 4900 to read it. Whether set to NIMH qrx or NIMH eng the meter on the 4900 just stays at 9 until battery is flat. I have a 742 which does read on the 4900. Any thoughts???

Matthias Richter Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 are you using an external battery pack? Guess not but since I am using an USB pack my 742 won't read the batt status any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howy Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Does the meter look correct on the 743's screen? If so then it sounds like the 743 does not know how to re-scale the meter data for the ENG. I will have to look into it. -howy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vins Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 My 743 shows full battery on my RX12 meter until it dies also. Battery type set to NiMh QRX on the 743. It sounds like a 743 issue not a 4900 issue Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I noticed the 4900 meter go from 9 down to 7 and then stay there until flat. It's the warning flashing I miss on the 4900 as it just shuts down when flat with no warning. thanks for looking into this. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertolomi Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 because of this issue I have all my 3 line transmitters set to lithium mode, which works better in this case..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
