Futaba 6EX fault
After several flights today my Futaba 6EX wont transmit to either receiver. Transmitter voltage is 9.8v, receiver voltages are 4.5 and 4.9v. LED light in transmitter is green as per normal. Receiver LEDs are red and blink when trying to link and then solid red again. Anyone experienced this?

RE: Futaba 6EX fault
How old is your radio? About 2 years ago Futaba had an issue with that model radio, please check this service advisory: http://2.4gigahertz.com/techsupport/...m7-7c-6ex.html

RE: Futaba 6EX fault
Thanks DougV - my radio is about 18 months old. I followed your link and the radio is in the serial number range for the problem. I have emailed Futaba but no reply as yet.........

RE: Futaba 6EX fault
The TX may have the Zero GUID problem as described above. If the RX's are old they may be re-linked to the TX but it is not recommended. Newer RX's will NOT link to Zero GUID TX's at all.
