Hi guys, just bought my first 2.4G Spektrum Dx5e
bound the supplied ar600 no worries
then bound some of the orange rx's from HK
result: lost the bind on the ar600
tested again (several times), bind the spektrum rx lose the orange rx's and vice versa.

is this normal?
regards
Bob

How about binding two receivers to TX at the same time?

That TX may be changing its ID code each time.

I'm guessing that the transmitter is actually a Spektrum DX3e, which is a surface radio compatible with DSM and DSM2 but not DSMX. It's also compatible with marine protocol, which may add a further complication. The AR600 is a DSMX receiver but should be backward compatible with the DSM2 transmitter.

The DX3e does not have model memories so all of the receivers are binding to the same ID number. For its part during binding, the transmitter learns what kind of protocol the receiver uses (DSM or DSM2). Not sure what happens when it encounters a DSMX receiver. I would have thought it just went into DSM2 mode (the default) but maybe there's more to it than that.

I know for sure that there is no problem binding more than one receiver to a DSM2 transmitter (or model memory). But that may not apply to the surface transmitters if the receivers are of different types. And I haven't heard of anyone trying it with DSMX receivers. I assume you can bind two Orange receivers (DSM2) without problems.

No definitive answer but some interesting questions.

sorry guys didn't notice the typo. tx is Dx5e

I have bound 3 Orange rx's without problem.

Bob, having got the Orange rx's bound and working, and then rebinding the Ar600 and getting that working, the Orange Rx's should still work even though the Dx5e was last bound to the Ar600. Did you try that order?
David.

Binding is just the RX learning the TX code, if you are following the bind procedure properly they should all bind.

If its still fails I would try what was post about binding them at once. If that also fails I think its time for you to invest in the DX6i or higher tx.

When you bind a Spektrum transmitter and receiver together, the receiver learns the transmitter's GUID, and the transmitter learns the receiver's capabilities (DSM2/X, 11/22ms, 1024/2048).

If the DX5e is bound to an AR600, it's going to use DSMX.

Guess what - counterfeits and clones cannot do DSMX, so the transmitter is speaking another language that they don't understand. Genuine DSM2 receivers will likewise ignore DSMX transmissions.

A re-bind will be required when changing receiver types.

The DX5 does not have a memory it will work only on one receiver at a time. So YES everytime you change receivers you will need to rebind the receiver. Each receiver has a different GUID. Dennis

Sorry but you are wrong. You can BIND multiple receiver to one TX even the ones with model match.

Receiver does the BINDING learning, they all can learn the same model memory. I know this from experience. The only reason my early post was not 100% accurate was because I simply assumed his DX5e was DSM2 only and never put 2 & 2 together when he posted having AR600 which is DSMX.

BUT with that aside if all your system is DSM2 you can infact bind multiple receivers to one radio and infact one model memory but of course this defeats the purpose of model match and is not recommended.

Sorry. You've got it backwards. The transmitter has a unique ID number which the receiver learns. Receivers don't have GUIDs.

As long as all the receivers are DSM2, you can bind as many as you want. What we are discussing here is what happens when the transmitter discovers that it's not dealing with a DSM2 but a DSMX receiver (AR600). It immediately forgets about the DSM2s and hence won't work with them.

EDIT: Never mind. Freechip covered it. I should read the other responses before commenting.

Thanks guys, my suspicion that the tx was changing to another protocol when binding with the AR600 seems to have been confirmed. It was the only thing that made sense when I thought about it. Guess I will have to put the AR600 away for the time being. The Dx5e was selected because I can buddy box with my existing JR, the Dx6i doesn't. I discussed the suitability of the Orange rx's with flyers at several clubs over the last couple of months. All users were happy with them and watching them in use confirmed what was stated.

thanks all
regards
Bob

There is an exception to all rules --
Not all DSM2 rx can be bound at once
Take a JR 9303 channel ( 2.4)
- IF- the receivers are 1024 type and 2048 types - some will NOT bind at the same time -and work- The example would be a 9 channel DSM2 and a 5 channel Dsm2-
Why?
Each rx will try to hookup at it's default setting (1024 or 2048)
Try it

You're right of course. That situation slipped my mind. But not too many of the 2048 receivers around (at least not in foamies!).
