OK I do not want to get into an arguement, but I am talking about range margin. In other words, ALL OTHER THINGS being equal, a higher TX pack votage (in my radio) will increase range, as well as burn through intentional or unitentional interference better as well.

I don't need more than visual range what i need is extended operating time.

what is he operating voltage range of our radios.
Matt i am not trying to argue with you, i want to gather all the facts and go from there.

Matt,
don't argue Alan, he will argue the oposite of what anyone says even if he is dead wrong ... it actually brings us hours of fun and entertainment arguing with him over at the LHS ...
more power also = less susceptibility to external interference which may be infringing on the frequency used ...
now to really bust your balls Alan, you want to enlighten us on how flying a jet at speeds exceeding 200 mph may cause the radio system to act unpredictably because the plane is " moving away from the TX at too fast a speed sometimes"

Yes, more range. so in effect it will do nothing for 99% of us.

Thanks for you input on this a while back Matt and your input about P-120 amp draw. We have a friend at the field that goes by Rarebear here on RCU, he independently verifyed, on the futaba9C at 12.5volts it increased output by 14%. I have been running a polyquest 3s1p on my 9C for a while now. Same great link. Anything that helps!~). Especially where we fly. Transmitter is lighter and that is great for me because I fly a lot!
Gary, thanks for the heads up on the duralite solution. I will be running a 4800 mah lithion from www.fromeco.org called peerless and 2 or their relion 2800s on receiver on my first jet. I'm very comfortable with lithium tech and look forward to trouble free flying.

Watch out! the Emotec has a very low discharge amp about 3. They are excellent for servos power box etc. Not turbine starters!

Might want to check with JR before you up the voltage in your transmitter. I have heard from a JR rep that they received a few 10X radios that quit working or had something wrong with them and it was found that they had Lithium batteries in them. I don't have any facts, just a thought before you go buying Lipo's for your TX. It would be interesting to hear what the manufacturer has to say about it!

Want extra long TX operating times ?-why not use a external 12 volt car battery -you could leave it on for a week and it would not go dead.........30 foot long coil cord - perfect mobility - we did it at Continental RPV. Works great !

Wojtek, I think Alan is going on information you gave him last year about sunspots and geothermal activity causing your large number of crashes. [sm=sunsmiley.gif]
