You can use a winch with a DT switch set to the stock 3 position setting, you just need to get used to move the switch to one side to start the winch and to the opposite side to stop it.

Or, HEYOK has a 2 position switch winch controller that you could use with the pushbutton.

Been a long time sonce I posted anything.

I cannot figure it out how to set this up on my radio.
I want to use DT3 for this and the HEYOK 2 position switch.
I used their 3 position switch on SW2 on Transmitter.

Thanks

Set DT3 to 2P mode. There's no momentary option on DTs, so you'll need to push it one way to activate the HeyOK controller's function then push the DT in the opposite direction to stop it. The pushbutton below DT4 can be set to momentary operation (at the default NOR setting) which might work better.

Note I never used the HeyOK controller, I'm going by the instructions I read on his post.

I tried the DT3 option but did not like it.
It works but pushing DT3 forewords and then back get a bit confusing especially if your nerves are running around while drive/recoverry.
