CHC and Sylvester -
I wondered about that as well, considering that the 9920 came with what looks like a "Hitech" style plug and I was attempting to plug it into a Futaba receiver, so to test for a possible poor connection, I plugged in the y-connector (which, ironically, also had the "hitech" style plug but worked perfectly), but I left off the servo - that is, I didn't plug in the servo to the other female on the y-connector.
Nothing. No beep, no signal, nothing.
So, I then simply plugged the servo into the y-connector, without touching ANYTHING else. Turned on transmitter, receiver pack, main battery-
perfectly easy programming. So, I simply unplugged the servo, again nothing - impossible to program.
Nuts
Here's the REALLY (really really) weird part - with the 9920 plugged directly into the receiver (where it wouldn't program), the motor DID signal (beep) the programming initialization when I touched the steering wheel, and it programmed "through" channel one (steering), even though the steering servo was still plugged into channel one, and the 9920 was clearly (I checked several times because I couldn't believe what was going on) plugged into the throttle channel (channel two)
Now after letting it program this way, it still didn't work - not that I could have driven it!
Receiver is 100% okay - I rechecked it by plugging in two servos; everything happy and working great. My 9920 also works great (besides the annoying glitching) on the AM Perfex system.
Nuts
How about this question then - how many of you use a Futaba system? If not, which systems do you use, and are HAPPY with? I love Futaba, but I'm hesitant to buy another and have the same problem!
