Will the Spektrum work with Reflex?

[captgrant8888]

rather than getting the G3 i think im going to go with the Reflex but since i just sold my futaba and just bought a spektrum i want to make sure it will work. thanks

Sure will. The standard JR plug that comes with Reflex will work with a DX6.

i ordered a JR plug from helihobby.com and i got this thing with a phone jack on one end. what gives?

[kgfly]

No idea. Can you post a photo ?

For JR it should be a standard (2.5mm?) mono-audio jack.

Some people have reported problems with helihobby shipping the wrong item and then being tardy about fixing the problem.

its an audio jack on one end and a phone jack on the other... :?:
the packaging says "Interface cable for XTR [...] JR"

Sounds weird. By the way, you cannot normally order the Reflex/XTR cable alone. The XTR cable is what you purchase when you order the product, the software is free.

The standard cable has a USB connector at one end, a black plastic box containing the interface electronics and JR plug on the other end. It doesn't sound like that's what you obtained. Can you provide a link to the helihobby product item so we can see what it is ?

Hmmm, just took a look, was it this $14.99 replacement cable: http://www.helihobby.com/html/reflex3d.html#PART0060020

I do not see how that can be used. Do you have the original Reflex cable complete with the interface electronics ? If so, maybe if you open it up you will find that the cable from the Tx is actually terminated inside that box with a RJxx telephone style socket and can be replaced with the item you purchased.

If you never purchased Reflex for around USD$189 and don't have the original cable, then this $15 item won't get Reflex working for you anyway.

Yeah i got my XTR software in taiwan for about 24 USD..
It came with a usb cable with an audio jack on one end and a seperate adapter for my futaba radio.

bummer.
thanks for your help.

but i just realized the usb cable goes straight into the socket on my radio..
But i'm not sure how to set it up or if that's possible given that i dont have that interface box.
