    Mega 360 Image issue

    Installed the unit, running to a Helix 10 Gen 3 on a Ultrex. The image is horrible and I cannot see anything with a contrast setting above 7. The screen looks totally blacked out. Re-ran wires etc. I have it running on 12 gauge wires to a battery block. Wondering what the issue is? Is this some type of interference? Battery issue or simply a wiring configuration.

    May not be what your issue is, but higher Contrast settings filter out the returns so that definitely will "blackout" the image.

    What cable are you using to connect the MEGA 360 to the display?

    I tried the 9 pin adapter and also hooked straight to the 360 to try an eliminate the issue.

    OK, I have seen some reported issues with faulty Y cables. You did the test to find that out.
