    Spektrum DX7 with Phoenix

    Hi,
    I'm guessing that people out there are happily using Phoenix with their DX7 Txs?

    I was over at a mates this weekend and we tried setting up a local multiplayer in Phoenix using two dongles.
    Once the sim was setup and configured to see and operate two helis (took me a bit, but got there after realising how it all worked ) we found that the one controlled by the DX7 simply wasn't working right.
    You could take off, then the heli would lock up for a sec or two, then come back to control in time to crash

    The other Tx was an old 6 channel JR Tx which has been used on the sim since the dawn of time and works ok

    Any ideas anyone?
    Should I report a possible bug, or is there something on the DX7 that needs setting to use it with the sim?

    I tried searching the site for info, but the word DX7 was omitted from the search for being too short! LOL
    Cheers,
    Rob

      Do you know if there were any tweaks to the DX7 setup to make it work, or is it plug and play?

      I noticed on the DX7 screen it said "DSC" when plugged in.

          Make sure trainer is inh, other than that my one works fine to. Did you try just the DX7 by it self?

          When you plug the lead in, the TX will turn itself on with out transmitting (do not turn on TX via switch) as you have the DSC (direct Servo Connection) lead plugged in, if there is another DX7/JR TX on the other end of the lead you will get a different message instead of DSC.

          The lead is a standard headphone (3.5mm I think) mono 2 connection not the headphone stereo type that has 3 connections.

          Thats is all I know

              Did you try the DX7 on it's own or was the other JR in all the time you were trying? Just wondering if it's related to having the 2 dongles.

              Personally I would would email Phoenix anyway.

                It got late, but I think we did try the DX7 on it's own...
                I honestly wouldn't swear to that though.

                  Don't think I did anything special with mine, just plugged it in and it works.

                    My DX7 and Pheonix combo works perfectly and has done so since it was plugged in.
                    Can't think it's the Dx7 tx got to be something else.
