Flashing light on a DSM2 rx indicates a power brownout, not a signal loss. A power brownout using LiFe batteries is not a good thing as their discharge curve is almost flat until they "fall off the cliff" to basically dead for all practical purposes. Cycling them is a good idea occasionally as they'll get out of balance and do need to be replaced once the usable capacity has diminished. How are you handling the charging? Volt checkers are of no value with the LiFe chemistry.

I don't use any of those aftermarket rx's but everything I've read about them seems to indicate that the orange ones are not to be trusted. Get the yellow ones.
