RX Search and Automated Model Selection
Describe the solution you'd like
Having been on OTX/ETX for the last 8 years, I've been shielded from certainm features on other radios. Recently while exploring the PL18 I found an option to "Search for Rx on Boot". Here's how it works:
Model 1 - Receiver 1 Model 2 - Receiver 2 TX off RX off
Last model on TX is Model 1 Turn on TX Pop-Up: "Searching for Receiver" Turn on Receiver 2 TX binds to Receiver 2 and automatically changes the model from Model 1 to Model 2. Turn off Rx Turn off Tx Turn on TX Pop-Up: "Searching for Receiver" Turn on Receiver 1 TX binds to Receiver 1 and automatically changes the model from Model 2 to Model 1.
I would consider this another major improvement in safety of EdgeTX as the radio now ensures the correct model is selected based on the RX turned on by the pilot which will be in the model the pilot intends to fly.
I am aware of Model IDs. This takes that feature a step forward by binding and switching to the correct model.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't believe EdgeTX has a programmable alternative for this feature request.
Additional context
Looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue.
