Hey everyone, so I just picked up a XG-100M to go with my 100P. Right now I’ll be using the CH-721 control head. I just have a few questions about it.
I’m familiar with rpm but not with the specific cables I need to program the M. Does anyone have part numbers for those cables? I know the brick and head both need cables for firmware updates (though it’s already updated to the latest as far as I can tell), but do I load mission plans to the brick with a serial cable? I have the manuals and I know there’s a serial to mic cable available for the head, so do I just use a usb to serial adapter? My rig doesn’t have any serial ports. Can I load via Bluetooth? Is there a USB port I’m missing?
Also, I’m looking at antennas…one of the genuine Harris recommended antennas is on eBay right now but I’ve also seen some posts about using a browning.
I guess that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll have more as I get things set up… oh and if anyone knows where to pick up a CH-100 head, I am interested but it’s not a priority.
Thanks in advance!
