Need help with failsafe issue
Hi all,
I am setting up my first jet. It has a Jetcat P70 with version 6.0 software. My Tx is a JR XP9303 with a Spektrum 9 channel module and and the Rx is a Spektrum AR9000 (red plastic). It has been properly binded with the throttle down and trip down and ATV's at 150%. Then I "learned RC" with the ATV's set at 70%. But, when I turn off the Tx, I do not get a failsafe on the GSU.
If I turn on the Rx without the Tx on, the GSU shows a failsafe. Then, if I switch on the Tx, the failsafe goes off. If I then switch the Tx off again, it does not show a failsafe.
I have tried rebinding, both with Smart Safe method and with the Pre Set Failsafe method. No luck either way.
Would appreciate any and all help.

RE: Need help with failsafe issue
Bob,
Of course I tried it that way first. It did not work. So I tried to increase the difference in order to get a bigger difference in pulse. As it turns out, I spoke to Matt (Mr Matt, Jetcat rep) and we figured it out. In the case of the Spektrum Module, it first needs to be bound at 150% high and low. Then you must "learn RC" at H40 and L40. That did the trick. At L70 I was getting the same pulse (949) as I was getting at 100. At L150 the pulse was 1115. When bound like that it takes L40 to get back to 949 which then trips the failsafe.
I posted this in the Jetcat support thread.
