Missleman - hi/lo band has no effect in the 35 MHz band, only in 72 MHz band.

mouthpiec - your question is definately NOT stupid and I don't have a solid answer for you. You will need to make sure the RX is on the correct channel and has the correct "shift".

Some of the more technical radio questions might better go to BAX in the Futaba radio support forum.

Be sure to mention in your text that you are in Malta and on 35 MHz. You don't want an inadvertant oversight. Good luck.

If you can provide BAX with the manufacturer and model numbers of the RX in question it would help him.
