Default Can't calibrate Sidewinder

I'm running a DX3R and trying to calibrate it to my Sidewinder. I get the flashing green and the flashing red, but when it gets to the flashing orange and I let off the throttle, the orange just continues to flash. I've let it flash for probably 7 mins. so far and don't get the finish beeps from it.

I've got the end points set to 100 and I've tried it with the trim at 0 and also at 100. Neither seems to work. Once it kind of worked. I had forward but not reverse. Since then it hasn't even given me that again.

BTW, steering is working great. :-(

Almost forgot, before it's asked I have version 3.05 for my Castle Link.

Have you tried reversing the throttle on your TX? Do you have the Castle link? Maybe you need to increase your deadband.

Tried reversing the throttle and it didn't do anything. I do have a castle link. I'll see if I can figure out the dead band. (just got into this a couple of weeks ago)
