The next problem I have is that the DIMAX Navigator does not work in R/C mode. Tethered it works fine. The red light is on the Receiver but the Navigator shows a black cross through the loco picture on the screen. It worked fine the last time I used it. Any ideas ?
R/C Not working
- Thread starter Hekate
- Start date
Does the Navigator display show there is a link with the central station? (There should be a picture of an antenna in the top right corner next to the battery symbol)
If you don't have this, it's worth confirming that the Navigator RC channel matches that of the wireless receiver as described in section 8.9 of the Navigator manual (downloadable from the Massoth Wiki).
If you do, then try editing an existing loco config or creating a new one, and then see if you can connect to a loco. I have had the "black X" on a couple of occasions and when the usual power off/on didn't work, the create/edit did the trick.

As well as all being on the same RC Channel, each wireless device requires a separate individual ID.

I had this happen to me on my last open day two years ago, everything had been working fine then it just stopped. My receiver is under a 2 Ltr bottle cover on the stub branch of a tree, to give me the widest coverage of signal, on inspection, I found a family of Earwigs had moved into the blue box! Nothing I could do, after evicting said tenants, would make the receiver work. It went back to Massoth via 'Muns' , and the repair cost me £14 . It now works fine again, but I have sealed it inside the cover now. There was no explanation from Massoth as to what the problem was. It was a little annoying being away for several months but better than £100 for a new one, and I could still use the railway with the handsets tethered.
