Popriv's SO right, I've never even HEARD of a "switch with a bind cord" until this thread.

All I've EVER done, indeed all I've ever known to do with my 6i is:

Bind plug in batt. channel of Rx
Batt in any other open port
Turn on radio while holding trainer/bind switch
Wait for bind.

*shrug*
What does "shrug" mean? Is that in the manual somewhere? Because that's where I got the information about using the third wire on the power switch, which is not provided, to bind the receiver. Nowhere does it say to use a slot in the receiver, and I read the manual cover to cover looking for it when I tried to bind the thing. The DX7 has a bind button (also used for reduced power for range checking) for the bind process. The 6i manual is unclear (hell, nothing there at all) on how to bind if you don't have a three cable switch.

Read the Users Manual before you get to carried away with your "shrug" comments and you will see that there is no other description of binding than the plug the bind plug in the third cable on a three cable switch.

This is a new radio to me.

I have been able to bind my DX7 using any slot in the RX. After reading Popriv's reply, I took the receiver, and with a magnifying glass, I saw where the bind slot is on the receiver. There is no desctiption of this in the manual, no picture, drawing, nothing. You full scale guys are into reading check lists and manuals, arn't you?

What part of the below picture do you not understand?
