screen is still going blank...any suggestions? I may have to sell this thing and pick up a Futaba...

Again? When did this happen before? Did you send it in to our service department?
If the screen goes blank it could be a number of things, a bad component on the board, a bad LCD, or a cold solder connection. We can check this out if you would like to send it to us.

I posted a few weeks ago about this same problem that started occuring after I installed a spectrum module. I will test tonight with the original FM module, and post again with the results.

Approximatly how long will it take to send my radio in for repair? My track is starting a new points series and I need a radio...

I believe our service department is about 5 business days at the moment for turn around time.

This problem started after you installed a Spektrum (2.4 GHz) module in the radio or our Spectra (75 MHz) synthesized module?

At the moment I am running the Spektrum DSM module. I tested the radio last night with the original Spectra Synth FM module, same problem, blank screen.

Send it in then and we'll check it out.
