Hi,

I think I have an intermittant issue with my T7CAP transmitter.

Symptoms are:
- the transmitter sends random signals to various servos while on a flight simulator (FS One)
- I don't currently have a plane I can test this on but I'm pretty sure it's not the simulator or it's connector/cable
- the problems only appear after about 45 minutes of use on the simulator.
- in case you're wondering, the antenna has been extended to at least the 3rd section while using the simulator.

The transmitter is about 2 months old and still under warranty but I just want to know if there is anything that I could try or check myself before going to the trouble to send it in for a checkup?

Thanks,
Dave

You will have to check how the transmitter operates with a Futaba receiver. If you are still getting erratic operation, then you'll need to send the transmitter to us for service.

Hi Bax,

Thanks, I can do that. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks,

Hi Bax,

I took your advice and ran the simulator while also running 4 servos via a futaba receiver. I traced the problem to an intermittant connection on the cable that came with the flight sim. The servos kept on ticking the whole time without a flinch.

The only other possibility for my problem was that the square micro connector in the Tx was a problem but I could reproduce the problem on command in the cable "a ways upstream of the connector" while hholding the connector so it didin't move when I wiggled the wire. I'm sending the cable for exchange.

Can you tell me if the square micro connector and it's mounting in the Tx are pretty bullet proof? Just wondering for piece of mind.

Thanks,
Dave
