JR 11x Dead as a doornail.
My new JR 11x was to have its debut at the field today.
After investing about a total of about six hours of programming and setting throws, I may have left it powered on and flattened the battery. Not sure though.
What I do know is this time in my haste I connected my charger with the polarity wrong for the radio.
It's not the first time I've made this error and on prior occasions it just showed error on the charger so I knew to fix it.
Apparently, you can blow a fuse this way also as my radio was dead. Inside on the backplate there's a fuse you can easily replace and things will start glowing again.
I don't know why JR has to be opposite of every other standard in the hobby with this reversed polarity business but it is annoying.
