Has anyone in this newsgroup used the new Spektrum AR500 full range receiver yet? I have tested the "QuickConnect with Brownout Detection" feature and it appears that my receiver does not have this capability. I tested it by switching off the receiver power and the restoring power without turning off my 12X transmitter. It takes several seconds to recover instead of the advertised 40 ms. Using the same test procedure with two AR6100 receivers (SW Version 1.6) I get a reconnect in less than a second. The AR500 does report a power interruption via the blinking LED.

Not tested yet( just got it) , but it does say in the manual that if your Tx is too close to the Rx, it can swamp everything and take several seconds to re-connect.....
