Microbeast receiver choice setup issue

[Doug J]

Hoping someone can help here. I am running a DX6i, Spektrum AR6210 Rx with satellite and a Microbeast V3 on my TREX 600E.

The issue I have concerns the selection of the receiver type as part of the Microbeast V3 initial setup. Binding of the Rx and sat is fine but when I enter the receiver menu "A" after holding down the microbeast button during power up. I understand the standard receiver "non lit LED" option is the right on for an external Spektrum receiver. As such when I press the microbeast quickly to accept this all the LEDs flash (sleep mode?).

I understand I should be expecting the LED light to turn red for a few seconds and then turn blue. Is this assumption right and if so can anyone explain all the LEDs flashing? There is nothing in the setup manual that covers this eventuality!

N.B. Just out of interest I did select the Spektrum satellite option (purple LED) and accept this. I seemed to get further here and the LED turned Red but did not turn blue.

Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance.

You're not holding the button down more than 10s are you? It's a few years since I used a beastx, but from memory, doing so results in a full reset.

yes sounds like he is doing a full reset

No such luck. When powering up the beastx I hold the button down for maybe 1s until the "A" LED flashes and then once the receiver option has been selected I just press the button quickly to accept and all the LEDS light up and flash repeatedly.

Can you guys confirm that for a standard spectrum receiver with sat (as opposed to a spektrum satellite receiver plugged directly into the beastx) that I should be choosing the "no lit LED" option?

Just found this on the Helifreak forum which explains the confusion. A difference in lighting acknowledgement sequence between v2 and v3 of the BeastX - V3 will not bind with Spektrum Rx - HeliFreak

anyone know where i can get a lead that connects a spek sat. to the beast x, seem to be out of stock everywhere

I think theres mixed meaning here. The link you have is for a Spectrum BeastX not a stand alone Rx and BeastX unit. There is no binding to do with a separate Rx.
