Hi thermal7 & everyone,
FM TXs are basically PPMs. Would you happen to know or can confirm if the FS8 it is compatible or can work with PCM or the newer 2.4 GHz TXs (e.g. Spektrum DX6/7 or even Futaba)? Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
FM radios
ARE PPM radios.
The FS8 will work with PPM (FM) radios
ONLY PCM technology is proprietary and not compatible across brands. If you want the failsafe features of the PCM, I can tell you that the FS8 has failsafe built in. You program the failsafe positions of the controls when setting up the sensors and receiver.
I do not know if FMA is planning on releasing a 2.4 GHz version of the FS8. The FS8 is a system that utilizes FMA's receiver coupled to the IR sensors. It does not work outside of the normal RC bands (35 & 72MHz) Maybe it's back to square 1 and need to re-engineer the CPD4 to work with the 2.4 systems.
