Is there anyone who could help/ explain how to set up this transmitter as I am have trouble following the manual.

There seems to be plenty of features on it, some of which I probably won't use or need but the main things I want to know are about braking and the abs function, does anyone know if the abs function is any good and does anyone use it.

I also want to know how to assign the abs function to sw1 switch to be able to turn it on and off. Also I have assigned brake return to the 'knob' dial and am assuming that this is brake strength 0-100, 100 being maximum brake and 0 being minimum.

Then there is also delay amount which I assume is a timed delay from pressing the brake on the stick?

Any other help would be good :thumbsup:

FUNC-SW in the system 2 menu will assign the switch to ABS. Personally I never use the ABS feature as it really is pointless. We can never lock the wheels anyway.

I set my ATL to 100 and do the setup on my speedo. I also setup the speedo to 100% brakes so basically it will pull endo's (geared diffs in the DEX410 ;)) then tone down the brakes with the ATL. I only run 100 indoors with low grip, but I often find it down to 60 or 70 outdoors so the brakes aren't violent to use.

Not sure about the delay part of the brakes. The tranny is in the car and it's raining so can't look right now sorry.
