If you hard wire the Tx to the Rx using a DSC (Direct Servo Connect) cord,
you still won't know if the Rx is actually receiving as the signal (RF)
section is bypassed. You don't even need to turn on the Tx with a DSC cord.
You'll need a battery for the receiver (4.8volt Nicad usually) and something
to plug into it, like a servo. Don't f.ck about with LED's, just plug in the
thing you'd normally plug in and that'd be a servo.

As of now I don't have any other RC equipment besides DX7 and AR6100. I
want to test range to make sure everything works fine because I had some
problems with the transmitter (burned the fuse). Isn't there a way to test
this without servos?

without a servo what possible use is a R/C set???? apart from a flight
sim or a remote bomb detonator

I use EBW to detonate my bombs..
Didn't say I won't get servos, just that I don't have any right now.

Are you serious? Who do you blow up?

Why don't you wait till you get servos you dumbfck.

What's wrong with you people? I don't want to wait because I want to know
right away if I messed up my transmitter or not.

with out a servo or an oscilloscope your stuffed possibly along with the
transmitter, glass fuses don't blow for fun and what ever you shorted
out has gone to a better place, especially if you have let the magic
smoke out as you will know all electronic equipment runs on smoke once
the magic smoke has been seen your stuffed

Borrow a servo?, although if you blew the fuse, it (the fuse) would've done
its job and protected the Tx electrickery. Y'know a cheap servo can be had
for less than 10 bucks too, but that's THE best way to check for range.
Attach the servo to something you can see move and walk away from it while
waggling the sticks. It's going to be BLOODY hard to see an LED at the
extreme of even antenna down range.
