[NSRCA-discussion] Radio Issue

Steve:

I had a problem similar to this with my 10X a couple of weeks ago.

The battery connection was oxidized and not making good contact with the
transmitter connector.

When I would adjust the LCD brightness the engine would sometimes go into
low idle (FAILSAFE)

and was really random.  The transmitter did not perform a power cycle during
these problems.    

Do you remove your battery or change batteries on occasion?  Is the battery
seated well and

the cover snapped down to hold the battery in position?

Hi Everyone,

        I have a serious problem with my radio and I was wondering if anyone
has any experience with this.

        I have a JR 10X that has performed flawlessly for 8 years.  It is
72mhz with a top JR receiver. Today while flying it went into failsafe mode
twice.  It only faded for a split second and then came back. It never lost
battery power, so I reasoned that it 's not the battery, voltage reg or
switch. I assume it must be the transmitter, receiver or antennae.  I can
put another receiver in it, but the only way to test is to put the plane in
the air.

        How would I know if it is the transmitter?  BTW, range checking on
the ground with the motor running turned up nothing. 

TIA, Steve
