Simon B Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've got a DX5 and my dad's got a DX6. I want to slave my Tx from his so i can learn a bit more, but the manuals of both don't seem to explain in any detail how to do this. Can anyone help?

Frank Skilbeck Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm assuming you Dad's got the later DX6i (DSM2) and not the earlier DX6 (DSM1) in which case it's simply plug the trainer lead in and the Tx that is switched on is the master, pull the trainer switch and control is passed to the "slave" release it a control is returned to the master. Below is from DX5 manual (page 7) downloaded from the net. Trainer The DX5e offers a trainer function that allows the transmitter to operate as a master or slave. The trainer switch is located on the back left of the transmitter. When using the trainer function, plug the trainer cord (SPM6805) into the trainer port in both the master (controlling) and the slave (training) transmitters. The master transmitter must have the power turned on and the slave transmitter must have the power turned off. Note: The DX5e trainer system is compatible with all JR and Spektrum transmitters. Master The DX5e transmitter can be used as a master but the slave transmitter must have the same programming (i.e. reverse switch positions) as the master. Slave When using the DX5e transmitter as a slave with another DX5e, it’s necessary to match all the reverse switch positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Skilbeck Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You'll just need to buy the lead, probably the same as a JR lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon B Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I've bought a £5 mono 3.5mm audio lead from Maplin which does the same job, but half the price and twice the length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
