Cannot change from dsm2 to dsmx
Just got a 550 3gx with two dsmx satellites and I can't seem to get the dx8 to switch over to dsmx in the frame rate menu. Anyone run into this

No I havent heard of that.I guess the first thing to ask is what airware version do you have in your Tx? It is 2.00 or above? Did you change it from DSMX(default) to DSM2?
If you still have no luck you might try to copy to another memory slot and rebind.Also remember that if you do change the protocol mode in the frame rate menu it will not take effect until you rebind at that setting.

This is just a pointer I do not have a 3GX unit, but does 3gx support DSMX protocol or is it only a DSM2 set up.

I thought there was a certain firmware you had to be at to get DSMX to work on that.

Yeah I was considering these concepts.Maybe some confusion in communication went through my head.Im not fully up to speed on the compatibilities with the various FBL systems and DSMX but it still shouldnt effect being able to make the selection in the Tx menu.It may not bind at that setting but you should still be able to make the selection in the Tx.
To the OP.If your still having an issue you might try posting your issue in the 3GX forum to see if maybe someone else has hands on experience with this.Im using 3G right now and dont have experience with the 3GX yet so I am kind of fumbling around in the dark about this.

Tech at horizon said the the 3gx doesn't have the base code to handle dsmx. If this is true or not I'm not sure. I haven't found any firmware updates for the gyro yet

Thats the reason it wont bind on dsmx protocol then. However you should be able to get it to bind on dsm2 protocol.

I use one satellite on my 450 pro 3gx. I bind my dx8 to the ar8000 and then I unplug the satellite and plug it to the 3gx. I can get the satellite to work in DSMX. I don't know if it really work in DSMX, but I it shows DSMX in my dx8 when I turn on the 3gx and I can setup everything and they all works.\\
In DSMX mode..I can always get a solid led on the satellite. Keep the radio on and turn off the 3gx and turn it on again. I try many times. I always get a solid led. If I use the 3gx to bind the satellite. It will only work in DSM2 mode. keep the radio on and turn off the 3gx and trun it on again. I try many times. I always get a blinking led. I need to trun the radio off and on again to get a solid led. That's the difference between DSMX and DSM2 with the 3gx. Again, I only use one satellite. If you want to use two satellite to work together in DSMX, I think you need to get a spektrum receiver that supports two satellite and bind it to the radio and then pull the two the satellite to the 3gx. I don't try it and I don't know if it works or not. (I don't fly my heli yet. I don't know if there is any problem with it by making the 3gx to work in DSMX). I think that the next release new firmware by align will suport the 3gx to bind in DSMX.
