It is the old DSM receivers, the AR6000 and BR6000 (which are basically the same receivers just different software). With my AR6200 the dx6i performs brilliantly, but those receivers havent got the programmable failsafe on all channels like the BR6000 does.
A copy and paste from the RFL Forum.
To all: I have had a DX6 for a while with multiple BR6000s and all is good.
I just got 2 DX6is with stock AR6200 RX and 2 additional BR6000s. I have encountered the DX6i binding to BR6000 problems reported here and on the UK forums. One of them will eventually bind after 30-40 seconds. The other will not bind at all to a BR6000. With the old reliable DX6 all BR6000s bound in seconds. The problem is the DX6i. Both DX6is bind to their AR6200 in seconds
We ran Hydra on the DX6i for the first fight in Stake (Didnt run it again because someone forgot to charge the batteries (Doh!!!).
It ran fine with no issues.

Seems hit and miss on the DX6i .... SOME DX6is work fine with the BR6000 others dont.
Selective purchasing of the DX6i at the local model shop might perhaps be the way to go....I.E. Take a BR6000 plus battery with you and test the binding works.
Still I have seen the same Tx work with one Br6000 and not with another.
Our BR6000 in Kronic works better than the one in Weed but both take way too long to bind. At the last event we did I nearly pulled weed out of a fight because it did not bind, luckily it just managed to bind before the fight started. Im not happy with our setup and Im considering sending it back as it does not do what it is supposed to do.
Are you having to bind each time you fight ...or are you saying that you couldnt get reception / connection between the transmitter and receiver?
Bind: Process when the receiver is associated with the transmitters unique code. Requires the bind plug.
Connect: When the receiver is powered on it scans the band for its associted transmitter. When its found the transmitter it will connect.
Once the receiver has been bound to a transmitter, the unique code is stored in memory (along with the failsafes). The receiver should connect with the transmitter within a few seconds of the transmitter being switched on.
I have noticed with my DX7 that sometimes the receiver does not connect and this appears to happen occasionally if the transmitter is turned on after the receiver.
i have had dx7 binding problems occasionally. i have to rebind it sometimes as it almosts unbinds itself.
Ok, with the 2 Rxs I have, they take a good few minites to bind and remember the failsafes. After that, Kronic can take a good minute or more to connect and weed can take up to 5 minutes to connect (sometimes it will not even connect). In one fight (last event) Kronic lost connection to the Rx and I had to reboot the Tx. This caused Kronic to loose connection for about 30 seconds. Not good in a fight when in that time youre dead!
