sanwa gemini 11
 

i have just bought a gemini 11 transmitter from fleabay everything appears to work but i'm getting no signal to my car, i'm using a hitec receiver and unbranded crystals which worked fine with my lynx3d
any suggestions ? or have i bought a broken handset.

hi. i have a gemini and i have found that some crystal brads wont work sanwa. you may also need to switch the wires around depending on the colour sequence.

When I used to use a Gemini II I found that when using any other receiver or xtals than sanwa I often had problems hence I only used the rx311 sanwa receiver and moved onto futaba fasst as soon as I had the funds to do so.

Might be an idea to see if you can try your tx with someone who has a sanwa rx and xtals.

they only work with sanway xtals as far as i know! will work with other receivers like a novak xxl or maybe the nosram one (not sure on the name) but defo dont like other "full system" brands like Ko ect

It works fine with ko 297f recievers

the orange cased one's?

yes the novak has a orange case

I used a Gemini 2 for a few years and thought it was very good for the money (my son still uses it). Should work fine with other receivers but you must use the sanwa crystals. We have run it with ko, sanwa, futaba and hi-tec receivers.

Hth, Dave.

thanks for your advice on the transmitter does anyone in newcastle area have any sanwa 40mhz crystals i could try before i buy some thanks
