Can a radio lose a channel?

I have a 3PM, I wanted to use it in my CRT.5. I hooked everything up and the steering servo would not work. (I though I had a bed receiver) so I got a new receive and I am having the same problem. Channel 1 on both receives do not work. I am using a new servo and a RX pack to do the testing. When I hook the servo to channel 2 or 3 it works fine (with each receiver) but channel 1 won’t work. I check all the setting on the radio and they are good.

Thanks for your help.

I havent ever heard of that one, but I suppose anything is possible.

I dont know if that radio has channel mixing on it or not, but if it does you could possibly mix the steering channel and the Aux channel and plug the servo into the Aux channel. It should work for a short term work around untill you can get it fixed or replaced.

It does have mixing I may try that. I would like to make sure both receives are good but I don't have any other FM radio.

Is the ch 1 on in the radio....some radios allow you to turn off channels

I don't think you can turn off any of the ch's on the 3PM but I did double check
