Frank Skilbeck Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Helping a friend out, he has a JR DSX9 with the Spektrum DSM2 air module, we seem to be able to bind the receiver to the module but then there is no.response to.stick movement. Bound it to a new 6 channel DSMx rx and no problems, so tx and module are fine. Is there an issue binding telemetry receivers to DSM2? Any suggestions.

Frank Skilbeck Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Mmm, just bound it to my DSM 2 Dx6i, took a little while but it works. Maybe need to keep the JR tx in bind mode longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Not to state the obvious Frank, but easily missed You hold the AR8010T bind button before powering up the Rx The introduce the Tx bind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Well this is weird, it seems like the AR8010T doesn't like the JR DSX9/Spektrum Air Module, it seems to bind but then not respond to the Tx, but will failsafe when the Tx is switched off. An AR620 binds and works great with JR tx and the AR 8010T works fine with my old DSM2 Dx6i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve too Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The AR8010T (and the other receivers that Spektrum released around the same time) is not one of their better offerings. The receivers that came before and after (the AR8000 and AR8020T) are both better.

Cuban8 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 As far as I'm aware and in my experiece, any Spektrum receiver that uses satellites will not initially bind or link at switch on, unless at least one satellite is connected. Same thing if that single satellite has a damaged or bad connection (Spektrum do seem to crimp their cables very tightly indeed, crushing the insulation and leading to the conductor parting over time - check with a jewellers magnifier). For once the copy leads are actually better than the originals and I've used them for years since being driven nuts by an RX that would only link at switch on when it felt like it - broken satellite wire at the crimp, only making intermittent contact.

steve too Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 @cuban8 It depends on the receiver. My 7610 and 7700 will take a remote, but don't require one. The 8010 will take two and needs one. I always strain relieve the remote connections with silicon. Liquid tape should also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 The rx I was using had one satellite, as it works with my Dx6i, I've given my club mate an old DSM2 AR6200 as a swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
