Hey guys my buddy has been having problems with his SR3000. It will just randomly run away on him and wont stop unless he gets within 5 feet of it. I told him to try his brothers receiver in it and it worked fine. Then he put his back in rebinded it and it want to take off randomly again. I have him bringing it over tomorrow to check it out to see if i can find something up with it. My thoughts are maybe something with the antenna is screwy. I had him see if it was still attached to the circuit board and he said he checked it and it was still attached.

So what are your guys thoughts on this. The more opinions tonight means the more solutions i can try tomorrow.

Thanks

Alrighty guys he brought it over and once he got 5 feet away with the radio it would loose contact. So i opened up the RX to see how the antenna was, turn out the guy who he got it from in part of a trade somehow pulled the antenna off and did a horrid job of resoldering it back on.... looks like he toasted the board on the corner were it attaches.

what are your guys thoughts here, scrap it or call spektrum and see if they can maybe re service it..
