another spektrum bind problem
I can't figure out what's wrong. The switch that I used to bind (came with the spektrum radio) all of my receivers was in a plane that i sold. I am trying to bind a receiver to a new plane using a standard switch. My receiver will not bind. I have everything set up correctly but when I turn the switch on the receiver blinks once and will not bind to my radio. Is this a problem with the switch? Was the switch that came with the radio a special switch?

RE: another spektrum bind problem
You are probably using a switch that has only the two battery wires. The supplied Spektrum switch has 3 wires. You need a 3 wire switch, the third wire being the bind signal that your bind plug mates with.
Or ............... plug your 2 wire switch and batteries into an Aux channel. Then plug a short servo extention into the normal Bat / Bind port. The servo extention will have 3 wires. Now you can use your bind plug into the servo extention, and go from there.

RE: another spektrum bind problem
You need a switch with 3 wires. Many only have the black and red ones connected. You can bind right into the receiver instead. Plug the battery into any open channel and put the bind plug in the power/bind port.
