Default RD6000 Throttle Problems...again and again!

Thud Driver,
It's the throttle-high warning feature which is not working and therefore disabling the TX...

If the throttle is not at idle when the tx is switched on, the transmitter will not power up and transmit until such time as the throttle control lever is moved all the way to the idle position. (This is, I suppose a nice safety feature to prevent your engine jumping to full throttle if you start your engine before turning on the tx...of course, if it doesn't work you're hooped!)

Once the tX recogonizes the throttle at idle, it powers up and transmits... until that happens, you can't do anything with the tx... and unfortunately, it cannot be disabled. When it does work, the throttle control appears to work normally... it just seems that every once in awhile, the electronics are not picking up on the fact that the throttle has been moved to the idle position...it really is quite irritating!
