I have had my Optic 6 with Spectra Module for a couple of years (right around two) and now I am experiencing the issue I have read about in the forums.
I will turn on the radio, switch on the plane and...nothing. It is on the correct channel so it was driving me crazy.
I removed the Spectra module, slightly bent down the wires exiting the back of the transmitter and then replaced the module. Viola I then had contact with the plane.
This has repeated twice now and now I cannot trust this radio to fly my planes.
Luckily I have an Exclipse 7 I can use but it doesn't have enough memory spots for all of my planes.
Can this be fixed? What is causing this issue? It doesn't seem safe at all.
Thanks

Just a note to Thank Hitec for such a quick turn-around. The radio was fixed (replaced) and sent back within a week.
Awesome service and kudos to Hitec!
