Hey Mike, Receiver Compatability?
Hi Mike. I just purchased the new JR R700 receiver from Horizon and when I plugged her in and shifted my Eclipse to transmit P nothing would work. I tested the receiver by changing out the crystal and using my brother's JR8103 with no problems. Do you think I got a bum crystal, or has JR come up with a way to keep us HITec guys from using their receivers? It acted like turning on the airplane before the transmitter you know, like upon switching it on the controls twitched and just stayed there like it wasn't receiving a signal. Any ideas you could give would be great. Thanks,
Eric

I have not heard of any incompatibility issues with that receiver. What crystal are you using? Do you have the Spectra module?

I'm using the JR crystal that came with the receiver. I don't have the spectra module. I must have gotten a bum crystal.

got a new crystal
Mike, I got a new JR crystal for the receiver yesterday, and now it receives a signal from the transmitter, but the channel plug labels do not correspond with the channel the eclipse is transmitting. That's hard to follow, let me simplify,
when I have the elevator servo plugged into the outlet that says elevator on the receiver, the elevator is actually controlled by the throttle on the transmitter. They're all mixed up except for the rudder, that one actually works properly with the rudder stick. The aileron stick actually controlled the throttle, so that ruled out a mode change, they're just all mixed up. Is this normal and no big deal, just plug them into which ever ones yield proper stick to surface movements? Or is my P shift malfunctioning?

The channel assignment for JR is different than Hitec, and the rest of the industry for that matter. The channel assignment for Hitec is #1 Aileron, #2 elevator, #3 Throttle, and #4 rudder. Just plug the servos in to these channels to make it work properly.
