EdgeTX
Trainer Connection via MULTI Module unstable

Transmitter firmware
Current Behavior
I have two Radiomaster TX16S with 4in1 MPM and an additional external iRange+ 4in1MPM. I would like to use the teacher/student function. The teacher radio uses the internal MPM for connection to the model with Frsky X2 EU/LBT and the external MPM as RX for the trainer signal. I have configured everything so far and it basically works. Unfortunately, the connection is extremely unstable and I keep getting continuously the message Student signal lost/reestablished. I have selected Frsky X2 EU/LBT for the trainer connection. Is this a problem with EdgeTX 2.10.1 or rather with the MPM with the current firmware 1.3.4.0?
Expected Behavior
MULTI Trainersignal should be stable
Steps To Reproduce
Trainer Radio:
- Use ext. 4in1 MPM as FrskyRX
- set Trainer Signal to MASTER/MULTI
Student Radio:
- Use int. 4in1MPM with Frsky X2 EU/LBT
I also used a Horus X10 Express as a student radio and the same problem occurs.

If your plane is using frsky protocol, you should try something else, like spektrum, for the trainer/master connection. If that works, that would indicate more rf issues
Thx @3djc, I have not been able to establish the connection with the Spektrum protocol. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, it just doesn't work. But I have now established the trainer connection via FlySky2A. That worked straight away. I now have to test it in practice. But at home on the workbench it's okay. However, I have already been able to reproduce the connection problems with the FrSkyX2 EU/LBT on the workbench at home. Does this really mean that if the int. MPM uses a Frsky X2 EU/LBT radio link, the ext. MPM cannot also use Frsky X2 EU/LBT?
There are known RF issues with certain protocols when trying to use the same in super close proximity. You may improve things with antenna positioning or similar, but using two protocols as different as possible is usually a better option
