Re: New Lemon transmitter module, DIY & JR formats

The blinking brownout light activates when using that battery, plus other batteries, with or without a switch, plus other ECSs. Conclusion? It's not a bad battery. It's not a defective switch. There is nothing wrong with the power being fed to the DSM2 receivers to cause the brownout light to blink. The brownout light does not activate when using any of these batteries or ESCs with any other transmitters except for the Lemon DIY and Plug & Go modules.
If any of these DSM2 receivers are bound to either of my two Spektrum DX5e transmitters, the receiver starts up with a solid light.
If any of these DSM2 receivers are bound to either of my two Multi-Protocol transmitter modules in either Taranis, the receiver starts up with a solid light.
If any of these DSM2 receivers are bound to either of my two Spektrum "Hack" transmitter modules in either Taranis, the receiver starts up with a solid light.
If any of these DSM2 receivers are bound to my Orange JR type transmitter module, the receiver starts up with a solid light.
If any of these DSM2 receivers are bound to my Orange Futaba type transmitter module, the receiver starts up with a solid light.
Again, the ONLY time these DSM2 receivers startup with a blinking brownout light is when they are being controlled by any of the six Lemon transmitter modules. The obvious conclusion is that there is something different about the way the Lemon transmitter modules work with these DSM2 receivers, and the way they work is not normal.
Quoting from a Spektrum AR9100 Manual: "When power is restored, the receivers will immediately attempt to reconnect to the last two frequencies they were connected to. If the two frequencies are present (the transmitter was left on) the system reconnects typically about 4ms. The receivers will then blink indicating a brownout has occurred."
Each time the Lemon transmitter modules are turned on, they are always choosing the exact same two frequencies for DSM2. They should be choosing different frequencies each time they are powered up. Choosing different frequencies each time the transmitter is turned on is how the DSM2 receiver knows the difference between a brownout and a normal startup. The Lemon transmitter modules are never changing the two DSM2 frequencies, and that is what is causing the blinking brownout light to trigger when the receiver is turned on.
So what I'm asking over here on Mode Zero is if anybody has one of the Lemon transmitter modules that was purchased and shipped after March 5, 2021, can you please check to see if it always powers up using the same two DSM2 frequencies. If it does, then each time the DSM2 receiver is powered up the brownout light will immediately begin blinking, even if the transmitter power was cycled before the receiver was turned back on. This will happen if the receiver and transmitter have been powered off for minutes, hours, or days. It is not a matter of quickly cycling the transmitter or receiver power.
