connection is made, connect directly
to the radio and change the port
settings. Try to connect through the
receiver again to ensure that they
are communicating.

receiver and radio.
Try a different cable.
Examine the ports for missing pins.
Use a multimeter to check pinouts.

external power source is charged
and that power output on Port 3 is
enabled.
