What it sounds like is that you are running one RX that is FHSS and one that is S-FHSS. When you change the RX type the Radio has to boot up in that mode, so that is why you just have to cycle the power on the radio.

Ah ha! That's it, the 4pl comes with an R2104GF S-FHSS and RPP was out of them when I went order a couple extra RX's. The ones I ordered were R2004GF which are FHSS.....
That's why your the man Harley! Thanks!
Hello
I have my 4PL DIG rebuilt the switch. I like it
if the switch itself back cracks when I let go of him.
I can operate much faster the DIG.
For the reconstruction I had to take the SW2.Thias is a 3-step switch.
All other switches on the 4PL are not situated for the conversion.
SW2 is now out and operate it, I connected a switch tastend/0/tastend.
I operated it with my thumb."thumbsup"
greetings tom

Good work Tom. A local friend of mine and I have discussed modifying the slide switch to do the same thing. "thumbsup"

How long do you have to hold the button in to link the radio and receiver? I am trying to link a 4pl to a R2004GF receiver. It just continues to blink red even after holding the button down for 45 sec or so. I tried starting with the power on the controller first then turn on the rec and vice versa. Any ideas what I am missing?
Never mind, figured it out, there is an option on the menu you have to change because its a different receiver than the one that comes with it.

Make sure it's in the correct mode. Cycle the remote power. Hold the remote within an inch of the RX.
I'm a little confused (normal). The instruction video puts the dig onto DT2, not SW2, right? And I guess like Tom, I find that awkward to use.
I assume if I looked inside I would see three wires going to DT2 and I could cut and extend those wires to an aftermarket 3-way toggle placed at my convenience. Is that what we're talking about here? Are there other options?
Yeah, but maybe an added toggle would be better as it would allow you to use a double momentary action, (assuming that's a good thing). In any event, is my understanding of the process correct?
I will check and see if the wheels are the same. I custom machined my wheel adapters.

Harley, I gotta say you've done a amazing job on this thread, thanks.
I love my 4PL it's a great radio. I'd like to pick up a smaller receiver for my 2012 comp truck, what would you recommend?

I run the 2106GF in my Berg and a shaftie with no issues at all. It is about the smallest of all the compatable RX`s.

Thanks igbrandy, not much differance in sizes actually, the 2106GF looks to be the smallest.
Yeah/but -- note the cables run out the end instead of out the top. That might matter to your fit.
