The Spektrum SPM6650 Transmitter is primarily designed to work with Spektrum receivers using DSMX or DSM2 technology. It may not be compatible with receivers from other brands unless they explicitly support these protocols. Always verify compatibility before attempting to bind the transmitter with a non-Spektrum receiver.

How do I set up dual rates and expo on the Spektrum SPM6650 Transmitter?

To set up dual rates and expo, navigate to the 'Dual Rates and Expo' menu in the transmitter settings. Select the control surface you wish to adjust (e.g., aileron, elevator, rudder) and set the desired dual rate values for each switch position. Adjust the expo values to smooth out control response around the center stick position.

What is the best way to store the Spektrum SPM6650 Transmitter when not in use?

To store the transmitter, ensure it is powered off and remove the batteries. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a protective case can help prevent physical damage during storage and transport.
