AR7000 will not hold bind ?
I have a DX7 (AR7000 RX), and it will not hold the bind. When I turn off the RX, I need to re-bind about 8 out of 10 times. This happened after I charged the RX battery through the switch jack at 0.5a……did that cause this problem? Any fix…? Thanks

RE: AR7000 will not hold bind ?
Are you sure the Bind Button, on the DX7, is not being depressed, while you are turning on the Tx? I had this happen because I was leaning the Tx against a shallow wood rail on my flight stand. Each time I would turn on the Tx and when I turned on the Rx, the two would not ReLink until I went through the Bind Process, again. It was just luck that I set the Tx in the same place, twice in a row, or I might not have figured it out so easily. A ReBind was necessary, each time.
Charging the Tx at .5a is not an excessive charge rate, but it is always possible to get a short as you plug the charger jack into the Tx. Usually that kills the fuse before damaging the radio.
Does this happen for just one Model Memory or have you tried more than one Model Memory?
Have you tried other Rx's or a different Tx with your Rx?
Are there any lights flashing on the Rx when it fails to ReLink?

RE: AR7000 will not hold bind ?
I had the same problem that BushBarber had. Was working on my plane and was laying my DX7 down in such a way that the bind button was being depressed by the wood rail of the flight stand. Took me awhile to figure it out. Here is a pic of how I fixed mine. I just glued a couple pieces of plastic tubing next to the button.

I like the idea !
My main radio is X9303...that doesn't have this problem....the DX7 is spare radio I use at my cottage...so I am not used to having this issue
