Chris Burton Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi Everyone,Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me as i am at a complete loss.I have a futaba 6EXA transmitter that is not talking to the reciever.All the crystals are fine and so is the reciever as i have tried them on my old Futaba radio set and all work fine.The transmitter has been stored for a year in my garage which is dry and the battery charged fine.The transmitter computer system all appears to work correctly i think as it cycles through all of the programmes on the LCD screen.I bought this radio set 18 months ago and has not been out of the box only to cycle the battery.Can anyone help.Many Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Chris, assume you on 35MHz? Is the receiver compatible ie. it's not PCM with the TX on PPM? Is the aerial screwed in, sometimes that can come loose. Just re-check the crystals or change them if poss. What was your old Futata set and what brand of receievr is it?

simon barr Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hello Chris,I've had this with my 6exap, and it was that I had somehow switched the tx from PPM to PCM, so it stopped talking to the PPM rx...Check that you have not done the same.

Chris Burton Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks for your input guys but the crystals were supplied with the set as was the receiver and they all worked up until i put them into storage as the radio set was to be used on my new project which has now been finished.I know projects shouldn't take this long but with family and other commitments time flies.Many Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Did you check the ppm/pcm settings...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Burton Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I don't think this set has it as it is a 6EXA and not the 6EXAP version but i could be wrong.Would you be so kind as to where the settings are found as it doesn't show it in the manual.Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi Chris,Ah, ok. If it has got this facillity, there will be a PPM showing in the top right hand corner of the screen, (or PCM). If you have, you change it by going into PULS in the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
