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

[Bob Richards]

With the 8ch module, there is also a switch that must be flipped depending on the receiver type. It should be in the 7ch position for 6 or 7 channel receivers, and 8ch for everything else. It will not bind if it is not in the correct position.
   
  When you press the button on the receiver, you must hold it down for a few seconds.

  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.
