Hi Jeff,

You should not be experiencing this type of response when you change your modules at all. You should not have to remove the battery, nor should you see a horizontal line.

It sounds as though you have a problem in the transmitter itself, and I would suggest that you send that into our Service Center to the technicians here can check this out for you.

Please see our site at: http://www.futaba-rc.com/service-moved.html for information on returning this to our service center.

I hope you find this information helpful. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 217-398-8970 for Support, 217-398-0007 for Service or via fax at 217-398-7721 or by email at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Krysta
Lead Futaba Customer Service and Programming Technician
