GWS servo issues with Futaba gear
Hi all,
I am using a Mega Tech Junior transmitter and a FP R122JE reciever.
The problem orccurs when i plug one of the new GWS servos i bought it just rotates back and forth. it does not respond to any commands at all. if i have my old working servo plugged in it also goes crazy.
but when i unplug the gws servo it goes back to normal.
now the gws servos are marked futaba compatiable.
on the back of the servo box it says that the ' old systems' use 1300 u s where as the new systems use 1500 u s which is the industry standard. it also mentions that these servos can be modified to work with other systems.
any ideas?
BTW i live in sydney and got these sent over from the USA.

GWS
Deane, we have tried about 30 GWS servos and most have failed in one way or another. When we plug one servo on a Y harness, it behaved OK, but when we plugged in the other, they would feed back between the two and do what they wanted. This is with Futaba PCM RX.....Lenny
