My girlfriend bought me a single yellow transmitter for Christmas. I do not have a gray one. Will it be ok to use the yellow transmitter in a single transmitter application?

Yup - running either color as a single is fine . You just shouldn't run 2 transmitters of the same color together due to potential for interference.My girlfriend bought me a single yellow transmitter for Christmas. I do not have a gray one.

I do it all the time...I just make sure I don't turn them on at the same time. At a 5s repetition rate, if I turn them on 2-3 s apart, even with a little clock drift the potential for interference is really low.Yup - running either color as a single is fine .

Your choice - but against Shearwaters reco. I run a yellow and a grey. I do agree the risk of interference is low with 2 of the same color transmitter but, if planning on running 2, it's best to get one of each color.I do it all the time...I just make sure I don't turn them on at the same time.

I agree. But my setup predates the existence of the yellows.Your choice - but against Shearwaters reco. I run a yellow and a grey. I do agree the risk of interference is low with 2 of the same color transmitter but, if planning on running 2, it's best to get one of each color.
