Hi G-unit and welcome to the forum which flight controller are you trying to connect the sat to ?
I';m guessing you have one of the APM';s but which one

Hi G-unit
I have no knowledge of connecting a spektrum sat to the APM even though I use spektrum ive always used a full rx normally a Ar8000, I did have a look around to see if other people are connecting sats directly to the APM and found a page about it here http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/ardupilotmega-spektrum-satellite-rx?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A578858 It would seem you need an adapter and then have to flash the ppm chip on the APM it sounds like it might be a fair bit of hassle  :rolleyes:
