3 Position switches to activate mixer inputs

[FrankS]

Trying to use a 3 position switch to activate an input in a mixer, I can only get the mixer input to work with the switch at one end position, i.e. the switch works ON,OFF,OFF, if I reverse it then it's OFF,OFF,ON, is there anyway I can reconfigure the switch operation in the mixer the mixer is on with the switch either at the end or middle, i.e. ON,ON,OFF.

Thanks

Hi, FRank!

As far as I know there is no possibility to do that. The transmitter kann only detect the endpositions of a switch when used as an on/off switch - the middle is alwasy off. If the 3-position switch drives a channel (e. g. servo) this problem does not occur.
Perhaps you remember the good old and trusty mc4000: there MULTIPLEX introduced the very special "Wechsel-Schalter" which I would translate as "change-switch" (I don't know the right translation because I haven't got an English manual at hand). I don't think this idea got transfered to the ProfiTX - one of the few shortcomings.

Thanks, on the Royal Pro although you had to define the switch as a mixer switch you could set it to be either ON,ON,OFF or ON,OFF,OFF but it appears that isn't an option on the Profi
