Radio - JR & Spektrum DSM > DX7 Stick Mode Change!?!?! better suggestions?

Anyone doing the same thing like me?
I've been in Mode1 for a decade and i think i am not gonna change that. I got my DX7 today and was in high hope that this "higher end" model may provide s/w stick mode change function but it does not. Aa a fact, after revealing the back cover of the transmitter, i can see a sticker on the PCB saying that this processor is programmed to be mode2 for Spektrum only. I guess there's no s/w stick mode change for this either.
What i did then is to switch the variable resistance and trim switches to cheat the software. But the throttle channel got completely flipped, which means i have to set the throttle and pitch curve this direction "\" instead of "/". And the trim display is also always flipped.......

Why would you hack up a perfectly good new radio when you can just swap it for the right one?

You can fix this by reversing the wires on the pots.

Sorry guys, there is no provision whatsoever to change the stick mode. It requires a factory/service reload of new software.

There is an option for mode1 but it is not yet available in the USA. (if someone here has one please report) I am getting a converted mode2 to mode1. conversion being done at Horizon. I am hoping it is the same as the factory mode1 systems but only time will tell. In AUS, they have the opposite problem. All the mode1 units you could want but no mode2. In a couple of months they should both be available from Horizon...
