Hi Dan 767, thanks for your response, but I am unfortunately still not getting it. My transmitter does not have a PCM feature it is the FM/PPM version.

Here is what I have done and maybe you can tell me what steps I am missing.

1) Turned on the sim.
2) Connected my FM trans to the sim via the connection cables supplied.
3) Turned on the FM trans to an unassigned channel and still no go.

Question, can the transmitter to be used work without battery power like the sim's.
