JR R1221 RECEIVER PROBLEM
OK, what am I missing. I've got 2 brand new 1221 receivers. I plug a charged 6 volt battery directly into the battery port of the receivers and NOTHING happens!
No flashing lites on the receivers, nothing. Both seem completely dead. What's up? ANYBODY

Scotty,
That's the problem, the bind plug is in. I'm trying to bind the system and can't get either receiver to power up.

I had the bind plug plugged into the wrong slot. Horizontal slot on the top instead of the vertical slot on the end.

RE: JR R1221 RECEIVER PROBLEM
I have the same problem but have not been able to figure it out. I'm running a JR 9303 nine channel radio and wonder if the JR R1221X 12 channel receiver is not compatible with my radio. What radio are you running with that receiver? Do you happen to know if my radio is compatible with the receiver. Thanks

RE: JR R1221 RECEIVER PROBLEM
That is a bit scary. I have a JR9303 with the 2.4 module. Never any issues. But thinking of using it with my first jet, and more channels would make my setup easier. So was thinking of getting the 12X and using a 1221. I've used JR for years and no issues. I'm on the fence with this first jet.
Somebody chime in and say there are no issues with the 12X or 1221 please. I'm sure many folks are using this combo with no issues.

At least two of the remote receivers must be plugged in.

David, I was puzzled by the same problem you had, and later found the above so true. At least two of them must be plugged in in order for the 1221 to properly power up. Do you have at least two satellite receivers plugged in?

RE: JR R1221 RECEIVER PROBLEM
Same here
I have a 12X transmitter and a 1222 RX. I also could not get it to power up making the same mistake and had the bind plug in the wrong slot. I also sent it in to JR after I did get it to power up just to make sure it was alright. Been flying it in my F-15 all last summer and it has been fine. JR needs to clarify the instructions a little.

Dave, I've had some my 1221's not work at all unless ALL the satellites are plugged in.
Maybe there are some ports that need to be plugged in? Or maybe all the ports? From what Harley says, it seems like only two need to be used.
And make sure you use the satellites that came with your 1221. I've used the new "DSMx" satellites with an older 1221 and could not get it to bind or work either.

Thanks for all help!
What I did found out was that I did bind the model and got steady light. And if I turn the plane off and on again I get blinking rx and satellites. But if I turn off both plane and transmitter and do turn them on again I get steady light every time.
Strange or normal? Range check is done and it seems to be very good.
Turn on and fly the model?

If you turn off the model without cycling the transmitter power, the receiver picks back up the Tx on the original 2 frequencies that it was originally using and the LED's blink to give you an indication that the receiver had an intermittent power failure/disruption. Its described in the manual.

This most commonly happens to me when plugging in my batteries if I don't get a solid first time connection.
