I don't think that will fix the issue. with the receiver I am working with, for some reason regardless of how I set the arm time, sometimes it will connect fine, sometimes it will sit for a long while then connect.
All the while, the receiver will allow me to power the steering servo no problem.
I have found that if I shut off the transmitter, plug in the battery, then turn on the transmitter, it works fine.
My other system with the spektrum receiver has the latest software and has no issues.
I am going to try the receiver on the other MM to see how it goes on there.
