XS3 problem
I have a strange problem with my XS3 that I have never seen before.
I use my XS3 on various things including my TS2 boat. I have used this setup a few time with no dramas. Last weekend I went to use my TS2 and as I was setting up I moved the throttle and steering. The steering was fine but the throttle was not. I found that the throttle would not go to shutoff when I moved the throttle to "brake".
Everything else was normal but the brake part of the throttle had no effect. I checked all the settings on the radio and could not see any problem. It had worked perfectly the previous time I had used it.
I changed the model to a different unused number and it worked. I changed the EPA and used the boat with no problems.
I would like to find out what has happened as i have one model in my XS3 memory that I can't use.
Any ideas?

RE: XS3 problem
I'm not sure what may have happened. It sounds like there was some incorrect programming done. Have you tried to reset that model and retry? If that doesn't work, you'll likely need to send it to your nearest JR service facility.

RE: XS3 problem
I did think of them as they are my LHS. I know though they don't have a repair service on site and I would expect that they would have to send it away anyway. I'll ask but I think the cost will be too high considering the entire radio only costs $200.
