Default Hitec/Futaba trainer cord problems

Hey all. I currently have a Hitec Focus 4 FM transmitter and bought a Futaba Skysport 4 FM to train my dad via a 6 pin DIN cable. The cable was just lying around our house - probably from a 20 year old computer or something (remember LOGO programming? hehe). Anyway, when the Hitec is the 'master', it DOES allow the Fut to get a signal but you have to hold BOTH trainer buttons down and the throttle is at a fixed rate. If the Futaba is the 'master', it gives out no signal at all. This seems odd to me. I have reversed servos, used a different receiver, etc. Any input on this? What would you place the blame on most...the FM modulation, the cable, etc? Or me for thinking they would be compatible...just kidding (kind of). Thanks.
