|  Servo wired directly to a TX
Is there any way to wire up a servo so that it is hard-wired to the TX?

Just wiring it up??? I highly doubt it. You will likely need a way to convert the TX signal to something the servo understands. You also need to supply power to the servo. Actually, you can do almost anything, but is the potential cost worth it?? Curious, why do you want to do this?? |

| Re: Servo wired directly to a TX
I am making a pole-mount for my GoPro that I can rotate. I can wire up a cheap TX/RX combo with batteries at both ends, but I am trying to keep the weight down, keep the wiring to a minimum and use as few batteries as possible. I do have a couple of old TRX AM radios, what would happen if I soldered the RX antenna directly to the the TX's antenna output? |

No reason you couldn't use a cheap battery to power the RX and plug in a cheap servo to do the rotation.. | |

 Yep, you can do it using a servo-tester. That way batteries would be only be needed at one end.
