[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 347672, member: 183150"] Hi Stu Had a little play with it, but don't have or likley to get a receiver with V-Sec protocol, so seeing it as spare parts. :) It does have a thin disk magnet on the gear wheel and it uses it a hall effect sensor on the PCB. The magnet did not seem to be strong enough to operate a reed sw. though it was only a handheld test. The hall effect sensor is probably more sensitive as it is powered and amplified. The gear train is also slightly modified to give an extra 1.5mm room for the disk magnet. I did do a cursory search for similar magnets, but it was probably made to suit. I used small but strong 'rare earth' magnets which I could fit into the body of the gear wheel . The gear spins fairly fast and other than balancing it on a M/C the extra weight of a disk magnet might cause extra noise, wear and vibration. The small disk magnets don't add any weight and can be placed quite accurately. I also drilled a couple of extra lightning/balancing holes to compensate a little for the existing slot. :D [/QUOTE]
