DJI Z15-GH2 on/off record weirdness

Sent my Z15-GH2 gimbal to DJI Los Angeles and they did a great job servicing/repairing my gimbal.The original issue was no color video picture out wirelessly to my monitor. Now I have a weird thing occurring when I go to hit the record on/off function on my TX.

Once I power up the S800 EVO,I let the gimbal do its dance before turning on the camera. Before I turn on the camera,the little RED light underneath the gimbal blinks red as it should. Once I turn ON the camera,the little light under the gimbal turns GREEN as it should.

At that time I DO have a COLOR picture being sent wirelessly from the camera over the HDMI cable then through the gimbal,then out through the gimbals GCU,the MKII IOSD,then to the AVL58.

Both color picture and telemetry can now be seen wirelessly on my monitor.

I have assigning to channel 6 on my Futaba T8J TX the far right and top back monetary switch to control the record VIDEO On/Off function. I have Channel 6 out of the Futaba RX wired to the SHUTTER port on the gimbals GCU.

Everything looks good at this point. I have wireless gimbal control and a color picture and telemetry on my monitor.

ONCE I hit the record on/off switch to RECORD video the camera,s screen shows I am recording video,but once I do this the wireless monitor goes black with the exception of the telemetry which is still being shown on the monitors screen. At this time the little light under the gimbal is blinking RED.

In order for me to get a color video picture back on the monitor,I have to power down the whole craft,then repower it. Strange thing is once I do this,I get a color picture back up on my monitor,but the camera has somehow started to record on its own without me using the TX.

At this time when I hit the record off switch on the TX the camera does stop recording,but the wireless monitor goes black again with only the IOSD overlay. Again the light under the gimbal blinks RED.

What could I be missing here? Anytime I hit the record on/off function on my TX the picture on the wireless monitor goes black with IOSD overlay only???

I CAN hit the record on/off button ON THE CAMERA itself and I do have record control and a color picture with telemetry being sent wirelessly to my monitor.

What am I doing wrong here?
