Guys... the DX3R currently does NOT support the marine protocol. The ONLY surface radio that Spektrum sells that does is the DX3S.
The DX3R radios that David and I have were prototypes with special programming protocol... they just used the DX3R platform to do it. This is the protocol that is now in the DX3S.
I've had one RX not bind with my DX3S setup, and still don't know exactly what was wrong, because I was later able to bind it in another boat.
I don't use RX batteries, so I suspect that is where the problem is... Make sure it's charged, and that the ground wire is on the correct side. I believe the grounding plane is on the outside pins, and the signal (orange or yellow or white wire, depending on your setup) goes on the inside pin. Red is in the middle...
