However, RF modules does not seem to be coming on when plugged in - LED on the module does not come on. I did some trouble shooting and found there is no voltage to pin 3 of the module port. Tracing the connecting wire (green) back to J6 on the 9Xtreme board, there is also no voltage on the green wire on J6. I also measured the various marked voltage points on the 9Xtreme board and they all showed good voltages. That's as far as I got. I was using ER9X on this transmitter before installing 9Xtreme board. Any ideas?
No power to RF module port

I finally installed the 9Xtreme board. I also added 2 push buttons and converted a 2 position switch to 2 positions. Everything in the software seems to be working ok, including voice files announcing the name of the model selected.

Re: No power to RF module port
Please clarify which pin on J6. I don't have a 9X handy right now and I'm not sure which one is the green wire. Assume pin #1 is the one at the "top" (closest pin to J5).
Re: No power to RF module port
Did you enable the modules in the Model Setup/Protocol menu? Make sure they are not set to OFF.

Re: No power to RF module port
You hit the nail right on the head, Joao! The RF module came to life after I turn "EXTERNAL" to ON under the Model Setup/Protocol menu - it's magic! Now I have to remember to set that parameter ON for each model.
S_mack, fyi, it pin 6 from the left (pin 1 is next to J5).
Thanks guys for the quick response and solution.
