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.....
