Servo compatibility question
I need some help here. I just got a new Futaba 9C radio. I was trying to use an Expert SL300 micro servo with the Futaba FP-148DF Rx and the servo is dead. Will not respond at all. I have tried it in all channels with no luck. I thought I had a dead servo and decided to check it on a different radio. I plugged the servo into a Futaba FP-127DF that I use with my 6XAS radio and it works fine!!! I tried it in a Hitec receiver and once again it is dead. What am I missing here? Are some brands of servos not compatible with some brands of receiver? Why would the servo work with the 127 RX and not the 148? They are both Futaba receivers. I am stumped and any info or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ken

RE: Servo compatibility question
Do other servo's work on the recievers the one servo doesn't? Unless you're hooking the servo's up wrong there's no reason for a servo to play dead like that.

RE: Servo compatibility question
Lynx,
I have tried another servo on all of the receivers and all of the receivers work fine. I have tried several combinations of servos and receivers. The futaba servos work on any of the receivers and the expert servo works fine on the futaba 127, it will not work on the hitec receiver or the futaba 148 receiver. I have tried the servo test function of the 9c and it works fine with a futaba servo but the expert micro servo will not work with the 148 RX!!! I am new to the 9C (Thanks Santa!!) and maybe I am doing something wrong, but danged if I can figure it out.
