Spektrum RX internal "glitch buster" cap mod

[BrianG]

This is a neat mod! Unfortunately, almost all my Spekky receivers are the older opaque gray box style where there are two PCBs inside, so no extra room for a cap.

For future reference, those empty solder holes on the edge may be an alternate place to solder the cap. I can see there is at least a ground point, and I imagine there is a power point there too (would have to do some circuit tracing to be sure).

I was actually just about to ask what those were for. Might have to open it back up and do some more snooping around.

looking good, but I would recommend using an adhesive that isn't CA based when it's that close to electronics.

That's good to know for next time. I really only used like 2 drops, so hopefully it will be OK.

Hot glue works well...
