Garry Pollard Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I recently purchaced the Spektrum DX 6i . Did the binding ok and all working. However on reading instruction book it states that it does not matter if you turn on the reciever or transmitter first. It does with mine. If reciever is turned on before Tx 9 times out of 10 one or both Rx will continue to flash even though servos all work. If however the system is turned on the way I always have ie Tx first then Rx both Rxs go solid in a couple of seconds. Two questions if Inmay, have I a faulty setup . Secondly what would happen if I flew with one or both Txs flashing Thanks for any advise Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I would ignore that advice, and stick with the routine you are used too - which is correct. Apart from anything else, the tr needs a few seconds to search and lock onto the channels it will use.I usually wait for these few seconds before switching on the receiver, otherwise the receiver apears to be "dead".Faulty set...I doubt it. Fly with one or both receivers flashing? ..probably lose signal at one receiver at some point. Of course, for all we know, we may be doing so anyway, 'cos I for one have several installations where it is not possible to see if both lights are solid without airframe surgery.

Ian Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have noticed the flashing receiver light occasionally and wondered what it meant ?I shall have to check this before I take to the air, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If you have the new receivers with "quick connect" and you disconnect power to the receiver ( even very briefly ) then the led flashes to indicate that there was a power outage / brown out. Could it be that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Pollard Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Ian I followed the advise of the gang and turnedonTx first then Rx guess what worked corectly every time follow what these lads say they know what they are talking about and that comes from a 73 yr young lad who thought he couldnt be taught anything Shows how wrong you can be Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
