Hi Mike,
What you are describing is normal.
To get the Dual Rates and Expo to follow from radio to radio with a trainer cord, you will need at least a radio that has the function settings in the trainer function, such as the 9C or 9Z radio.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,
Krysta
Lead Futaba Customer Service and Programming Technician
