Default Futaba FHSS receiver issue

Recently purchased a Futaba R204GF-E receiver from a well known auction site to be used in one of my cars.

For some reason however I cannot get it to bind with my T4GRS. I've followed the procedure and just get a flashing led on the receiver which apparently means "mismatched ID" whatever that is.

I've tried binding on FHSS, S-FHSS and T-FHSS modes but without success.

The seller has been very good and has offered a refund but I thought I'd ask on here before I return it if anyone else has encountered such an issue and whether they managed to resolve it, or what the "mismatched ID" means?

TIA.

Not sure TBH.

The seller fully refunded me - he even had problems re-binding it to his own 4PL when he got it back but did manage it in the end.

I did email Ripmax to see if they could help - the flashing green led could either mean a faulty receiver or transmitter - basically it means the receiver can see a signal from the Tx but it's not strong enough to bind. Existing bound receivers will still work but it's not enough to bind a new one. Can't see how that works but that's what I was told.

I tried everything from having the rx touching the tx aerial, to having it a good 6ft away, and everywhere inbetween. Wasn't having it.

When I ran a FrSky converted KO Esprit 2 that would sometimes not bind if you were too close to the rx, almost as if the tx signal was swamping the rx. A foot or two between them and they'd bind immediately.

Having spent a large sum of money for the T4GRS and a plethora of receivers for all my toys, that's not really an option. The T4GRS is an awesome bit of kit.
