DSX 9 Gimbal was created by Phil Ford
Today I have noticed that when bringing the throttle down to low if I pulled a little too hard back it acts as throttle cut. In other words it going past the near end of the pot. Needs replacing and have contacted Mike at Model Radio. This may be some of the issues that I have had with throttling down on IC engines. Might be the end of life for this DSX9. :(

Most higher end transmitters have a stick calibration feature - have you checked your manual?

Never seen anything in my DSX9 manual re stick calibration. Although it was the first JR unit to adopt DSM2 RF protocol, i think the firmware dates to pre 2010.

Can you find the Service Manual for the DSX9 Phil? Years ago I had problems with an early JR X-347, sorted it using the JR service manual, which gave instructions for a factory reset procedure.

Here's a link that mentions the DSX9 as well as the 9X11

Phil, I just tried this routine on my DSX9 and I can get it to go to factory settings. It might solve your throttle prob.

This is the part of the program that sorts out the gimbals (sticks).

Stick Nut
This page sets the stick neutral positions. Each channel shows two values
The top value is the stick position with the centre offset applied. Ideally it reads zero when the stick is centred.
The bottom value is the the centre offset, and is quite probably not quite zero.
The values are for the two main gimbals, and also for the sliders on each side of the transmitter.
[ENT] returns to the service menu.
[CLR] clears the centre offsets.
[STO] stores the current stick and slider positions as their centre positons. It will then be necessary to to
[Stick Ga.]
Interestingly, it shows that the stick positions are probably quantized into about 900 discrete values.

Very interesting Brian

Obviously not in the manual and i confirm this process works on my DSX9 (although this video is based on a PCM9)
