The ufl connector seems the way to go for me. Can i still run video back up the coax and if so would a common splitter work for that? I was originally going to use baluns to send the video up, but I'm still in the planning stages and have not purchased any equipment yet. I'm getting off topic here t...

Great. Thanks for the help.

Is there a fitting for the ufl connector? I've never popped open a transmitter. Seems pretty simple.

Pictures would be great. You've given me more options. Thanks.

I've found some used dsc receivers online. Does anyone see and issue with customizing a wire from the trainer port on the transmitter to the dsc input on the receiver? This may be better asked on an rc forum, but there seems to be numerous members here with some experience in these matters.

I was having the same thoughts. Local dealer has a $30 used 6 ch transmitter with the trainer port. Considering it and getting separate receiver.

I've continued my research with not much progress so far. A few RC forums touch on hacking the receivers, but nothing about bypassing the RF portion. I also checked with our local RC/hobby store, but did not get any information there.

So I've done a little further studying on the RC transmitter method of control. I know know what I was looking at that was pricier. That was transmitters with DSC (direct servo control).

Yeah, I'm pretty much lost when I get beyond the relay method. I got a little excited reading about the ROV-Asia, then read some more and had the big let down. I don't really have much to offer when it comes to electronics, but I would really be interested in how your endeavor might work out.
