Thats the problem, i purchased it from ebay and it came with a tx, with the usb dongle on the end.
its a sealed unit so i cant or should i say dont know how to take it out.
The sim works fine, and the tx is ok, would just like to be able to practice on my own tx

Then either you don't have Phoenix or you don't have a legitimate copy of Phoenix ...

Do you have a link to what it was that you bought on ebay?

that is certainly a problem mate, generally its worth paying the full £80 for the disc && the lead, the lead which comes with it, will work your transmitter!,

Well my phoenix must be legit as it was version 3 on the disc. Installed it, set up the tx and clicked update. It downloaded and installed fine, and i am now running version 4.

looks like i am going to have to stick with this tx, untill i order a usb to 3.5 jack adaptor and try and configure that. I geuse my lisence is on the tx that came with it so looks like i may have to plug that in to.

can i not buy just the lead?

I dont think so mate, its a exclusive item to phoenix && when you purchase phoenix your only really paying for the cable to be fair, you would be lucky to find a decent one!

Sadly not, the software is unprotected and easily copied, the license is in effect the cable you get with it.

A genuine cable will have USB at one end, then a small black box, then at the other end, a jack plug.

Phoenix have never sold a version with an integrated controller fixed on the end of a USB cable

I'm sure you didn't intent to support pirates rather than the guys who made Phoenix but ebay is full of people selling this sort of thing.

First time I recall hearing of it sold with an integrated tx though, if you have a link or a photo of the tx I'd be interested?

Hi i am not at home so i done a google search for phoenix tx and this is what i have except the stickers are blue and it had no disk or instruction book as pictured. When i first plugged it in it installed the driver as a joy stick.

if this is a pirated copy then why would of the phoenix server of authorised and allowed me to update?. From what i have read the lisence amd product key are linked inside the box on the lead.

i have contacted the seller on ebay as i paid the money expecting a genuine copy.

Phoenix doesn't work that way, there is no authorisation on the downloads, the only check is done at the point when the software is run, at that point it looks for the dongle incorporated into the cable.

Pirates like the one you were conned by have cloned the authentication from a valid cable and built it into the USB tx they sold to you.

I'd suggest you contact them for a refund and escalate to PayPal if necessary, make sure you do so before the time period for a claim expires with PayPal.
