discrete components and single shot circuitry, but as with the servo, Signetics® simplified the operation with the NE5044 "Seven Channel RC Encoder". This encoder is commonly used in many of our non computer radios.

Looking at Figure 4 we see an example of a Signetics NE5044 IC giving us a complete seven channel radio less the RF circuitry.

Pin 16 is the positive input voltage, pin 8 is ground. The unit will operate on  4.5 to 12  volts dc. Pin 15 is the output from the internal voltage regulator which provides a nominal 5.0 volts which is used on all timing circuits.

Pin 1 through 7 are the inputs for the 7 channels. The pots shown on pin one are the stick and trim
