Spektrum DX5e will not bind HELP!
« on: January 12, 2012, 02:50:10 pm »
My transmitter after years of service will not bind with any of my 4 AR500 receivers. I have done binding many times with no problem, thought it was the receiver at first but now all 4 don't work and all control over previously bound receivers does not work.

Has anyone had same problem?? or Know the cure??

Have a word with Horizon Hobby UK Ltd (01279 641097)
http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/index.html

Absolutely first class service, second to absolutely none :-))

Last time i used them my OUT of warranty repair was free!, had a load of receivers updated...yep for FREE, and they were only away for a day :-)) :-))

No connection with Horizon, just a well happy customer.

And I have come to it today and Transmitter and all 4 receivers are binding and working fine. Perfect.

I am in my workshop where I usually set up But I am now wondering if there was a interfering signal in the area yesterday?

I did have a similar problem last year - got to the water and my boat wouldn't respond. When I got home still the same, tried another Rx - the same. Then I rebound them both and everything worked %) :o.

I know this sounds  strange but sometimes they won't bind if they are too close together.  I have no idea why, perhaps the signal is swamped??   They are also very voltage dependent.

Broadband wireless hubs are on 2.4 GHz Can be a problem if in the same room.
Fluorescent lights can also be a problem  when trying to bind RX/TX
CCTV (wireless) is also 2.4GHz
Etc Etc 2.4 Ghz is used everywhere now.
Not a problem once binding has taken place
But can cause problems whilst binding.

The transmitter batterys have to be tip top if there starting to get low you will have binding problems  :-))

Tried to re-bind another truck today and the problem has returned.....BUT!

This time I found the real problem I was having, just one of my binding plugs is faulty there in no continuity from one pin to the other.

What a relief now knowing the problem is solved.
