Hi, Danny,

I'm having a problem setting up the training link using two JR 8103's.



First, I turn on the master, plug in the DSC trainer cord (are there two different cords or is the DSC the same as the trainer cord?), then with the slave off I plug the trainer cord to it.

Here's what happens: The master always has control, never is locked out. When the trainer switch is pulled on the master, the trainer transmitter just glitches the control surfaces of the plane. No smooth movement, just little glitches plus the master has complete control regardless of the trainer switch position.

Reversing the roles between master/slave, it is the same.

These are one year old 8103's and this is the first time I've tried the trainer function.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Is the slave setup to output PPM? If it is set to PCM, it will not work, and will probably act as you have described.

Thanks, Tim! That did the trick!

Seems strange though that the modulation type on a "off" transmitter would affect the inputs into the "on" transmitter.

I'm not going to question it as it works just like it should now.

Thanks again for your help!

There are two different cords, one is the trainer cord which has plugs to fit in the jack of the transmitter on both ends, and the DSC cord that has the plug for the jack of the transmitter on one end and a standard JR plug on the opposite end. The DSC cord can be used to set up a model on the ground without having to transmit any signal from the transmitter.

Thanks, Danny....Looks like I have the correct one.

Just one more question. Now that I have trainer capabilities, is there a way to transfer all the trims/sub trims/travel adjustments from the master to the slave for the airplane we will fly?

Or is this necessary?

Will the master take care of the trims and the slave only needs to have the servos corrected(i.e.: normal/reversed), or does the slave need to have ALL of the masters trims too?

Thanks again for your guidance.

Yes, the slave TX needs to be set up for the plane as well as the master TX. If the 8103's are the same exact type, meaning both either need to be non-digital trim aircraft systems, non-digital trim helicopter systems, digital trim aircraft systems, or digital trim helicopter systems. Also for those non-digital trim systems, both either need to have CCPM activated or both not activated. If they are not the exact same, the data will not transfer. If they are the same system, you can go to the transfer function in the system mode in both systems. You can find more information about this function in your manual. I hope this helps!

Thanks again, Danny.

Yes, they're identical digital-trim aero systems.

Looks like I'm set.

I'll read up on using the transfer function tonight and give it a try.

Sure is wonderful having a manufacturing rep on this board.

Thanks for taking the time and helping, Danny.
