FWIW the very well written manual (link on Wiki) details fuses and what can cause them along with corrective actions. 

It is well worth the read as that encoder is a small computer and you must understand how it works to debug/correct. Since the LED is blinking it is not damaged.

I can't remember how ppm encoders behave with the wrong fuse settings, but I remember they don't work. That's the only thing I can think of. Did you program it?

We have tried everything. Our PPM is blinking at 3Hz but no PPM arrives to the Yapa (all zeros message)! Plugging in servos directly to the receiver, they do follow the sticks. We cannot explain it!
