FM Receivers

These small, lightweight, full-range, single-conversion receivers are being marketed through RC-Direct.

*DSP = Digital Signal Processing using a microprocessor computer chip.

All Berg receivers meet or exceed all requirements of the AMA with respect to narrow-band operation and range and have been tested to meet FCC requirements with respect to radiation levels.

Berg-4*DSP "Micro Stamp" Receiver

This member of the Berg Receiver family is described as being "about as small as a stamp and almost as light." It was introduced in late spring, 2002, and features the following:

Berg-4*DSP image

• Full range • Triple-tuned receiver front end
• Ultra narrow band • Dimensions 1.42 x 0.77 x 0.280
• Meets AMA specifications • Only 7 grams AUW (in heat shrink)

• DSP* microprocessor decoder passes only
"good" pulses to servos

• Negative shift only
(Futaba/Hitec compatible)
• On-board LED signal quality indicator • Available on all 72 MHz frequencies



Berg-5*DSP II Receiver

The Berg-5*DSP II is the best in state of the art performance to be found in a five-channel R/C receiver available today. Its small, lightweight size is due to the surface mount technology used throughout. The Transmitter Signature Recognition ("TSR") of the receiver learns the characteristics, or signature, of the transmitter, and this makes it compatible with all brands of FM transmitters. The first four of the five output channels are fixed, and the fifth output port is programmable to be either channel 5 or channel 6 with two jumpers.

This small, lightweight receiver is a full-range, no-compromise, super narrow-band receiver using Digital Signal Processing ("DSP") in the servo pulse decoder for optimum performance in even the worst RF environments.

By itself, this receiver weighs only 9.5 grams. It is packaged in a strong, lightweight, fuel-proof, case (3.5 grams). It is available in servo pins UP (vertical pins) and servo pins OUT (horizontal pins) configurations. To save weight, some people take the receiver out of its case and protect it with thin heat-shrink material. To facilitate this, we have designed a special antenna restraint into the receiver. This does not mean that you can pull all you want on the antenna, but it is a vast improvement over what we have seen thus far in the industry.

Specifications:

Narrow band 7 KHz or better
Weight (receiver with crystal) 9.5 grams
Weight (case) 3.5 grams
Dimensions See drawing
Operating voltage 3.6 ~ 6.0 Volts *
Operating range Line-of-sight
Crystal BERG (specified)
Shift polarity Automatic (part of TSR)
Output channels

1, 2, 3, 4, 5/6 (user programmable)



Berg 9XP* 9-Channel EXPander

This revolutionary, brand-spanking-new product was introduced in the spring of 2003. Anyone with a Berg-5*DSP receiver can now expand its channel count to 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9! Just plug this device into the plug marked "BATT" on the 5-channel receiver, then plug your battery into any unused channel on the -5 or on the -XP, or, if all channels are being used, find yourself a Y-connector.

The 9XP* has its own microprocessor with DSP software.

Berg-5 receivers may be programmed to output channels 1-2-3-4-6, to match most complex transmitters which use channels 1-6 or 3-6 for aileron/elevator/flap coupling.

Berg-6*G III Receiver with TSR, FS and DSP

The Berg-6*G III (Generation III) receiver is the best in state of the art performance to be found in any six-channel R/C receiver available today. Its small, lightweight size is due to the surface mount technology used throughout. The Transmitter Signature Recognition ("TSR") of the receiver learns the characteristics, or signature, of the transmitter; and this makes it compatible with all brands of FM transmitters. The Berg-6*G III receiver has features found in no other receiver on the market today, such as Fail Safe ("FS") or signal hold, auto-detection modulation polarity shift, and programmable channel 5 or 7. Advanced ultra narrow-band circuitry design that deals directly with most types of interference found in our R/C world lets you fly worry-free and makes the Berg-6*G III receiver one of the most stable receivers on the market today.

This small, lightweight receiver is a full-range, no-compromise, super narrow-band receiver using Digital Signal Processing ("DSP") in the servo pulse decoder for optimum performance in even the worst RF environments. By itself, this receiver weighs only 9.5 grams. It is packaged in a strong, lightweight, fuel-proof, case (3.5 grams). To save weight, some people take the receiver out of its case and protect it with thin heat-shrink material. To facilitate this, we have designed a special antenna restraint into this receiver. This does not mean that you can pull all you want on the antenna, but it is a vast improvement over what we have seen thus far in the industry.

Note: Futaba Radios with frequency synthesizers are not compatible with this receiver. However, all transmitters with the Hitec Spectra Module are fine. The default settings on Berg-6*G III are: Flywheel Hold Mode ON, Fail-Safe Mode OFF, and Channel 5 output on output port 5. Transmitter and included two jumpers are required for programming.
