It's Futaba, they are "squashing" all the channels and basically forcing you to loose your connection to receiver.

The only problem should be when you're binding the RX and TX.
Once it's bound, you shouldn't have any problems. I've ran next to a 4PK before and didn't have issues.

Interesting, I wonder what KO has to say about this (besides, yes, send it in for repair !) ?

I am looking at buy a new radio. It's down to the 4PK or the EX10.

I have heard that the 4pk's are having thermaling, and binding issues, then I read on hear that the EX10 seems to be suffering from the same binding, channel quashing issues that the 4PK has. Can anyone comment on the issues? I am having a hardtime tying to justify buying either of these radio's if there are known issues for both systems.

Thanks in advance
Sean

Thanks
From what I have experianced, if you use 150 the throttle curve will be longer, thus more precise control. Also if you limit the end piont, which I do in off-road, it gives you a lot finer adjustment. For example, if I want to take the throttle end point down to 1/2 speed, I would adjust the 100 setting down to 50, but the 150 setting goes to 75. Hopes this helps and not confusing.

If you have a problem with your system, then you should send it in. I don't believe that there is anything else to say. KO PROPO America will only service North American customers.

So if you live abroad (anywhere else in the world) you should contact your local KO distributor for repairs and service.
