I had always been led to believe that the programming had to match, so that when the trainer switch is pulled, the controls don't go crazy. I didn't guess that it would prevent any function whatsoever.
Which of course leads to the question: Which transmitters have the same programming as the DX6i, and can therefore be used as a slave? Only another DX6i, DX7, and a few JRs?
I entered a request on the Spektrum website, and received an answer. It appears that the Spektrum DX6i can act as a master to any JR or Spektrum transmitter EXCEPT the JLine Quattro and JR Sport S400.
Hope this helps all of you coordinating training at your clubs!
Ken,
Thank you for your recent email. You are correct, the S400 also will not
buddy box with the DX6i. The DX6i will work with all other Spektrum and
JR transmitters.
I hope you find this information useful. If you should have any further
questions, please reply to this email or give us a call at

Comments: What units will work as a slave to a DX6i?
My son got a DX6i for his birthday, but when he took it to the club for
his first flight, the club experts were unable to get a JRline Quattro
to work as a buddy box. See

Should the Quattro be able to act as a slave to a DX6i? If not, please
provide a list of what will!
