I am trying to bind a Spektrum receiver, but for some reason it's not working.
I have some experience with Spektrum, and currently have an aircraft flying using the AR7000 Rx and Spektrum DX-7 transmitter.
I've followed the manual to the letter, binding link plugged in, power on, but there are no flashing lights on the Rx or satellite. Does that indicate a dud receiver?
I understand it may be a failed receiver, electronic devices do fail, but it's exactly the same with three other receivers, an AR7000, an AR8000, and an S603, no flashing lights, so the binding process cannot proceed. To confuse the issue, the AR7000 and AR8000 receivers has been flown in the past, so binding had been successful. I have also had the S603 bind, hasn't flown, although I did have it operating on the bench in a Bird of Time I'm getting ready to fly.
I've checked operation of the receiver in the aircraft I'm currently flying, and it's all OK.
One receiver failure I understand, two unlikely, three almost impossible.
Does anybody have any ideas on what's going on here? I feel sure it's something I'm doing/not doing.
