But Brinkman - He wasn't about to hit another Boat - What he should have used was a boat hook pole to fend off the bridge!!!

The mechanical throw of the rudder with this config will be asymmetric (more motion steering to Port over Starboard)
A better solution (if there's room for the throw) could be to reverse the servo direction on the Tx, rotate the servo arm by 180deg and use a shorter connecting link..

📝 Radio signal ???

Possibly, a harmonic (Primary or IF frequency) from your old 40Mhz AM Tx in close proximity to the Garage is setting off his door.. In the same way as the old 27Mhz AM CB radios would set off peoples' security lights as you drove past them.
Also it could just be some wild RF selectivity issue on the 5.8 Ghz receiver on the Door Control or where the RF input on the controller is not screened sufficiently to reject the rough output from your Tx and it's sending the door cranky!!
I will assume his garage isn't by the pond you sail in so should only be a brief embarrassment.
Have you tried running the Tx without the Aerial extended to see if there is still an issue. Running the Tx with the aerial down for a short while shouldn't cause any problem to the Tx RF output stage!!

The Answers here mentioned 'Lake Chad'.. I was there (Chad) on business many years back and from all the odd things I saw, there were dozens of stalls along the side of the roads, selling Gasoline out of any glass bottles they could find.. (milk, wine even beer bottles) I asked the driver "why bottles and why is the gasoline RED?" He replied "Its the easiest way for us to sell it and its RED to stop the children drinking it"!!
Go figure.......

If you turn the Tx off while they jitter do they stop? If they continue, that eliminates the Tx.. What function does the servo in Ch4 control??
It could be motor/ECU interference, so yes put the Rx on a dedicated battery and try..

Don't confuse Tamya and Molex Connectors. The shells may be the same dimensions, but the pins have different dimensions. I believe the Molex male pins are slightly larger Diameter and will over stretch the female Tamya sockets.. You cannot repeatably mix the two!
Similarly, With Deans connectors.. Genuine Deans are a perfect fit with each other, but the Cheaper 'clones' are a sloppy fit and burn our under high load! Always search for the Genuine Connector..

Mike. Thanks for your comments.. I agree this device is costly but I haven't found a comparable machine that isn't twice the price...
