Total lock out on JR12 2.4Ghz
4. Q: Sometimes my receiver loses its bind and won’t connect requiring rebinding. What happens if the bind is lost in flight?
A: The receiver will never lose its bind unless it’s instructed to. It’s important to understand that during the binding process the receiver not only learns the GUID (code) of the transmitter but the transmitter learns and stores the type of receiver that it’s bound to. If the transmitter is placed into bind mode, the transmitter looks for the binding protocol signal from a receiver. If no signal is present, the transmitter no longer has the correct information to connect to a specific receiver and in essence the transmitter has been "unbound" from the receiver. We’ve had several DX7 customers that use transmitter stands or trays that unknowingly depress the bind button and the system is then turned on losing the necessary information to allow the connection to take place. We’ve also had DX7 customers that didn’t fully understand the range test process and pushed the bind button before turning on the transmitter also causing the system to "lose its bind."

Now the problem is I am going to be grounded for a long time to save for a fasst system or keep flying and pray!
ARE YOU FOR REAL ?
Maybe it is maybe it isn't but I am pretty unhappy after working all year to enter a scale competition and to have this the day before during a practice run stinks.
''The transmitter would do funny things like the screen would be upside down sometimes. Horizon said this is something that happens everynow and then.''
ARE YOU FOR REAL ?
The proper thing for Horizon to do would be to recall all of the DSM2 sets and replace them with the new system.
I realize that this is not feasable, but would'nt it be great if everybody blacklisted ALL horizon products and bought elsewere, then they might just address this F*ck up.
Giving up on DSM2 and buying an alternative TX is one thing, but I would have at least 10 RXs to replace.
Not that it would help in the case of keeping the radio from locking out - but after you set up everything, did you re-bind the radio (the manual says your supposed to) with the failsafe points setup?
I ask as it sounds like your plane went into failsafe. Maybe - just to be sure, send your xmitter in to be checked. Tell them it went failsafe on you when you had 4 remotes and 2 batts and that the screen would do funny things.
JR/Spektrum 2.4 has reliability issues , I've lost 3 jets with the DSM 9XII/9203 without any assignable cause.
Maybe thats the reason JR has come out with the FHSS now launched as the DSM J
The earlier JR/Spektrum system is definitely flawed
Wake up guys !

DSMJ was for Japan only, it looks like JR now has a new system out DMSS (FHSS) that has nothing to do with Spektrum.

Remember one thing. Not one single JR/Spectrum user had any trouble until the day they did.

Bull dung, mine did and I most certainly did not instruct it to do so. Luckily, mine happened on the ground. Dennis/Delta Mike, if you play with the rattlesnake long enough, it's eventually going to bite you. I would also be a skeptic if I had not experienced it first hand, but the problem is as real as the sun that rises every day.
