[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba 8-channel 2.4 GHz Module/Receiver

[Ron Van Putte]

I tried one of the Futaba 8-channel module/receiver combinations on  
2.4 GHz with my Futaba 9ZAP transmitter.  The instructions are  
somewhat misleading, at least they are to me .  The instructions  
talked about pushing the button on the module and then pushing the  
button on the receiver.  The receiver is supposed to bind to the  
transmitter.  The question is what indication you get when the  
receiver is bound to the transmitter.  I thought (they don't say what  
to look for) I'd see the green LED go from a blinking green to solid  
green.  That didn't happen and I tried it half a dozen times.  Then,  
on a whim, I plugged a servo into the receiver before pushing the  
receiver button.  Low and behold, the LED turned solid green.  Later  
in the instructions they talk about range checking and say, "After  
the radio link has been established (as indicated by either a solid  
green LED or a blinking green LED), ....."  Huh?!  EITHER solid or  
blinking green is OK?  Now I'm really confused.
