Default Spektrum binding issues


Okay, so my Tx and Rx got in today. However, they refuse to bind properly. The Receiver goes into bind mode, orange LED flashing away, but it doesn't go solid after a few seconds once I put the Tx into bind mode.

Tx: DX5e
Rx: AR6110e


Any ideas what's going on?

If the reciever is fast flashing then make sure you're holding the transmitter atleast a few feet away from the receiver and you're not sitting on a metal work bench surface or the like.

I dont know what puts the 5 into bind mode but hold it for more than a "couple seconds"

I just read the owner's manual for the transmitter/receiver and it says the transmitter will make a tone sound when the system is bound. Don't know, I don't own one of these, but try the manual instructions again and see what happens.

Are you putting the Bind Plug into the Bind Port on the receiver? If you are trying to use the Charging Jack, on the Switch Harness, then you will not be able to Bind unless you have a DSC Compatible Switch Harness.

If you are Binding using the Bind Port on the receiver, be sure your Transmitter and Receiver batteries are properly charged.

Trying to Bind while next to a Large Metal Building, like an Aircraft Hangar, will prevent you from being able to Bind.

My guess was that since he was getting the fast flash he had the bind plug right.

And had it been able to get airborne before the batteries died, we could have had "another Spektrum radio failure" thread

I wouldn't blame it on Spektrum though. I'm not one of those types. The blame would ultimately fall on me for flying with those stupid Shisu batteries.
