Only if it has ever been programmed in some way.
If you recently bought it new from Horizon (new ones have the latest code from the factory) then you will be fine using it with your DX7s if you haven't changed the code.
If you bought it used, or have an older unit that you put new software in, then yes, you need to have it deprogrammed so that it can work with your DX7s.
You might want to contact Product Service to have it factory reset for you, so that it works with your transmitter.

It's in the rcg Radios forum. It has PowerSafe in the title, I started it, and it's on the first or second page of threads.
RCU doesn't like links to the other side of town.

Actually the linking rule is no links to home pages of competing forums. IE It sucks here lets go to blahblahblah.com and sign up.
If a link is posted in context of answering a question, and it goes to the information being discussed, then it's no problem.

My AR12310T has just thrown up another problem.
I have a Valiant with dual elevators powered by 2xAR6150 servos. (DX18G2M2)
Both RX and TX at latest Software Versions.
The flight I recently carried out required a great deal of elevator up trim on takeoff, very surprised as nil work carried out from previous flight (good stable flier, rarely needs trimming)
The aircraft certainly did not feel normal to fly, sluggish, uncomfortable.
During post flight investigation at home I found the elevators asymmetric above 80% up, ok below this figure, ok down elevator.
The RH servo (port 3 in the receiver) is now only physically moving the elevator to 82% of full up but indicates on the monitor page as 100% at full stick deflection. Down elevator is ok.
Eventually I have inhibited Port 3 (Rx Port Assignments) and moved the RH Elevator to Port 10, now I have normal deflection and indication up and down.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I found when the original servo fitted to the RH Elevator channel, port 3, was moved to the unused port 10 ( reconfigured RH El also), it operated normally i.e. full range/movement/indication as expected.
I inhibited port 3 but now have grave misgivings trusting this receiver in flight.
I failed to mentioning trying to limit the size of this post that I had previously substituted the RH El servo with a near new 6150 spare with the same results as the original servo.
I also bound and tested my Mode 1 Tx with this model, same Valiant program, same erroneous result.
Further I created a bare bones new model on my Mode 2 Tx, same erroneous result.
My testing seems to point to an issue with Port 3 in the Rx and then there is the excessive trim needed on takeoff during the first flight and doughy flight control.

So send it in. Problem solved! Be sure to include some diagnostics, like the SPM file(s) for your transmitter(s) and any configuration information. It wouldn't hurt to include a servo that showed the issue with the rx, just to be complete.

Very prompt reply, thank you.
I am based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Over the last 2 days I have been in touch with Model Flight Service, Spektrum Agents Aus., seeking their guidance/advice.
I will contact them them tomorrow to see what can be done. There are no spare Rx at Model Flight.
Thank you .
