No Range when using a Futaba 12k
Sounds like this unit has a manufacturing issue but perhaps someone may be able to offer some advice particularly as I am far from a repair center.
I have a new aircraft and a brand new Futaba 12K system. We got it all fitted and at close range all worked well. But when a range check was conducted nothing worked with the green light on the receiver changing to red. More checks followed and we found the green light would flick to red when the transmitter was moved about. If you moved about 8-10 feet away then no signal was received.
I thought it must be an antennae issue and so took the back off the transmitter but the antenna cable was firmly connected to the board and without any damage being new. The receiver antennas were both intact and all batteries fully charged and operational. All aircraft systems checked ok without any binding or abnormalities.
So could anyone shed any light or have any idea of just why this new radio set is not working as it should.
