Basil Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have experienced my AR620 changing the named channel to another named output. For instance the rudder has become aileron, aileron becomes elevator, elevator becomes rudder. I can change around the outputs to get the surfaces to work correctly but only by using the incorrect named/labelled channel. But should this happen I am reluctant to use it in case of a failure. Has anybody else had this happen?. I am puzzled.The RX has been tried on various other channels, with the same result.!!!!! Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cooper Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 This is very odd. Are you 100% sure it is the receiver and not the transmitter? Try binding a different Rx to the same model memory which is causing the grief to see if the channels behave in the same way as the "rogue" Rx. At least this will highlight which unit is playing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Christy Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Are you using a Spektrum transmitter, or one with a multi-protocol module? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the DX9, for instance the default Chanel Assignment can be changed, during the System SetUp stage of preparing a model for use. 1maybe check your settings for that particular model memory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try and see what the Tx memory has in store. I have not got any idea what to look for, I am not exactly techno. I am only just learning about all of the aspects of the TX's that are usable. I have made no attempt to adjust the various options that are available .I have tried using a different channel set up but still the same. This would indicate that it is the RX.

Frank Skilbeck Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Is this a new Rx? Could it be a clone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 It was bought new. It has never flown but been used to set up various models previously without incident. Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasBas In the System Set Up menu you should have an option called Channel Assign, which you will need to check that the channel assignments are the same as on your other models, with other receivers. For Spektrum 6 channel receivers the default channel order is Bind/Battery - 0 Throttle - 1 Aileron -2 Elevator - 3 Rudder -4 Gear - 5 (can also be set to AUX for a 2nd aileron servo) Flaps - 6 - (can also be set to AUX for a 2nd aileron servo) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Leccyflyer, It does not matter which channel you use, its the same. I have stated this earlier. The channel uses I have differ from yours.(AR620) Batt ESC Rud Elv Ail Gear Flap I cant remember where I got these but I have another AR620 and the channel uses correspond to the above.!!! I think those you have given are for the AR600 version, but thats a suggestion only!!!!! I will have to check your values against the values I have. Thanks Bas Edited September 7, 2023 by Basil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Basil I have about thirty models with AR620s and they all follow the Spektrum default of TAER for the first four channels on the receiver. Well all the ones with four channels do anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Basil, have you gone into system setup/ channel assign, on the transmitter, and looked at what the transmitter is set to for the memory you are using. This is the reason your reciever is not as expected. Leccy flyer went through the procedure in the transmitter menus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know where my original designation came from .. I will check out one of my AR620 outputs and report back. the values I have been taking as normal are on an RX in everyday use on my trainer.???

Basil Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 ALL, jsut tested my unused AR620, the one in question.It corresponds to the default of TAER.I can only suppose that the other one in use follows an alternative, I will dig the model out and check. I was not aware of the anagram TAER. I have learnt another vital piece of information.Sorry to have clouded the issue. Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Bas To reiterate, the channel order is governed by the settings in your transmitter, for that particular model memory. If you go to System Setup Channel Assign You will be able to see which function on the transmitter is assigned to each channel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Sorry - I'm not familiar with the DX7S, mine is just an ordinary DX7, so I can't really check where the channel assign might be on the DX7S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Leccy, mine is not one of the latest, I think you have a modern DX7. There does not appear to have a heading for channel allocation in the TX handbook.There is reference to 'switch select', but it only seems to cover, trainer/Fmode/gear/flap/knob. I will speak to some one at the club and see if any of the spektrum users can shed any light. I have checked my trainer installation and it conforms to the TAER order.I set it up by making/breaking connections rather that follow the notes that I had made. So there is no need to panic over what I thought had happened. What I cant fathom out is where I got the original note re the order from.It came from the internet somewhere. TAER I will have to remember , I think I will after this. Many thanks to you and those of you that replied. thanks. Bas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
