I have had several chats with CML and they are none the wiser!!!
this would make sense.

Hi Darren,
Since we spoke we believe we've got to the bottom of this one.
It is rather a specific issue that most others won't encounter though.
ON the DSSS system there is a slight delay whilst the receiver and transmitter connect. For 99.99% of people this doesn't matter in the slightest (you should see how long the KO system takes to initialise!).
The problem is that the XP450 speedo in the Associated RTR needs the throttle to be at full throttle when switched on to get into calibration mode. It seems that the DSSS version does not connect quick enough before the speedo times out on waiting for the initial signal. We have tried a 27mhz system and the FHSS and they connect much faster and calibration of the AE speedo is completed no problem.
I've not come across another speedo that uses this method of calibration so it is rather unique, all the others I've used calibrate from neutral first rather than full throttle.
Hope that makes sense.
And just for the record, whilst the FHSS system has now replaced the DSSS system, the DSSS receivers (grey) will still be avaible for those that use it.
Edit: Sorry, no experience of the ORCA speedo.
