I can fly with my Transmitter box XP783. However I can not get the XP9003 to work. I can't get any help from the AeroFly Professional fourum.
Accordingly to someone else, this is what I need to do:
1) Set PPM (done!)
2) Disable the trainer mode ( need clarification to know exactly how to disable that mode)
3) Use the DSC cable , which I think it works since the XP783 has no problems.
Please advice, what else should I do?
what order?
please provide details to disable the trainer mode or whatever other setting that I am missing.
Thanks.

Check on this to be sure, but I think the trainer plugs have changed on the latest JR radios.

I think the new radios have a stereo plug and the old ones were a mono plug so you need the adapter listed on that web page.

Makes a lot of sense what you are saying, I will order the DSC cable adapter and let you know.

The new cable is required for the 9303. If you don't have it .... that's your problem.
You can get it here:

No the trainer jacks and plugs haven't changed. They are still mono plugs and jacks. I've checked with JR service at Horizon Hobby about this numerous times. They also haven't changed in size. Again I've checked with JR service on this. The cable that comes with AFPD (and probably AFP also) does have a stereo plug on it because Airtronics uses a stereo jack and plug. The stereo plug will work with the JR mono jack but sometimes it doesn't make proper contact, so OMP sells a short conversion cable that the stereo jack of the AFPD cable goes into and then has a mono plug on the other end to more closely match the JR plug.

Yes the plug is stereo and worked good for the first couple years for both Airtronics and JR. However JR changed the supplier on the DSC port which then changed the tolerances by a couple of thousandths of a mm which then made it not work on the newer JR models. It's not a matter of sometimes, it just depends on when you purchased your JR radio. We suggest everyone that owns JR purchases one because eventually you will be getting a new JR radio of some kind if you are a JR flyer.
