Default RE: New JR Radio

Wazowski,

Sorry guy, but if you're in the US, on 72 MHz, it's fact... the Futaba receivers are deaf to any XP6102 transmissions. Same is true of the Hitec and GWS stuff, assuming they were also compatible with your Futaba transmitter; if they work with your Futaba Tx, they are "negative shift". All JR transmitters and receivers are "positive shift". (For a brief history of how we got into this mess, see post #20 in this thread from MO_Radio_Tech). FWIW, Hitec (and maybe others, I dunno), sells a shift-selectable receiver that will work with both protocols, I believe it's the 7 channel Supreme SS. I also believe the rest of the Hitec receiver line is available in either positive shift or negative shift.

So... you definitely have a decision to make.
