Is there anyway way to convert these transmitters to 2.4 GHz with a module swap or any way at all with internal circuit changes? I guess the stumbling block is the fixed PCM design and no easy way to switch it to PPM?

That particular transmitter is PCM512 only. There would be no way to convert it to the 2.4 GHz FASST system, or to even use anyone else's modules. That's because the transmitter has no PPM capability.

Is the Futaba FP-8SSAP Single Stick PCM Transmitter and FP-R118GP PCM Receiver still legal with today's 72Mhz frequencies. I have a set that I just pulled out of storage. It is configured for Channel 46 (72.710MHz). There is a gold sticker on the transmitter's interchangeable RF Module that reads R/C MA RF Check AMA 8/14/90.

It looks like everything is correct to me, but I just want to be sure about it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with my question.

No different than all the other 72 Mhz systems still legally in service as the transmitter is narrow band. I use my Futaba SS Tx. all the time!

Flicka5,

Thanks for the info.

It will be legal because it's an FM-PCM system. All of the Futaba FM systems had the narrow-band specifications.

Bill,

My Futaba FP-8SSAP Single Stick PCM Transmitter internal battery may need to be replaced. I have a far share of electronics assembly experience and, if necessary, I would like to replace the battery myself.

What is the battery model number that I would need to purchase?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Joe
