Well,thats a bummer,isn't it! :(
I was hoping that we could at least rule the rx's out,but you cant get even one to reliably bind to one "slot".My money is on the Tx having "issues".
I presume that the rx's reliably bind to the dx5??
does your dx6 have a "dsmX" logo on it?? If so,you can turn off the auto mode,so that it just uses dsm-2,and turns off dsm-X. It is in setup menu/modulation type. Just a thought.
If that isn't it,then I am at a loss,sorry Dave.
If you could find someone locally to compare notes with,that might help???
Cheers Jim.

The only other thing I can think of is the receiver voltage.
I can't see any where that you state it other than connecting it to a battery so are you running it from 5v or the full battery voltage.
I have looked on the hobbyking site and they don't seem to mention the maximum voltage but I would try it at 5v if that isn't what you have already done.

Just tried switching it to DSM2 only, that didn't work either.
All the receivers bound find to the DX5e, but that transmitter is now broken (hence the need for a new one) so I have no other transmitter to test things on. In fact, with the DX6i being faulty, I have no transmitters at all. Not good when I'm trying to prepare for an AWS. And I don't know anyone around here I could compare with.
Ah well, guess I need to get it sent back.

I could lend you one of the small heli transmitters which are DSM2 compatible like this.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blade-MLP4DSM ... 4ab677aeb6
It doesn't have mixing or model memory but it does bind with the DSM2 receivers and would give you something to check the receivers with and set up your robots while you replace your transmitter if it becomes necessary. I could post it to you and you can return it at the AWS

Thanks Peter.
I've sent the transmitter back and they said they'll repair or replace it, so it should be fine. If I get it back and it still has issues, I'll take you up on your offer :)

Got my transmitter back from the cleaners this morning and its all working fine now. Turns out the ariel had become disconnected inside or something. Thanks for all the help!
