Default Hitec Trainer cord question

Which trainer cord will work with a Hitec radio.
I would assume a Hitec trainer cord with another Hitec radio.
I ask because I am amazed at some of the tips and tricks that can be learned on this forum.
I've learned, never assume anything. Thanks!

Futaba Trainer cords will work with the Hitech radios.

However... The Hitech trainer cord has a diode protection built-in, The Futaba cord does not. When using the Futaba cord for Hitcech radios, turning on both power switches and then holding the trainer button (on either radio) can damage BOTH TX's!

The Hitech cord also works fine with the Futaba radios...

Thanks FHHuber for the excellent advice.

I would hate to see a couple of radios getting ruined by trying to save a few bucks.

Trainer cord warning from Hitec

http://www.hitecrcd.com/Support/TrainerCordWarning.htm

Important Information Regarding Trainer cord compatibility

To our valued customers,

While Hitec radios are known to be trainer compatible with other Hitec and Futaba systems, Hitec has determined that the two-way Futaba cord is not 100% compatible with our systems and strongly suggests it not be used at any time.

Our tests show that when the Futaba trainer cord is used with a Hitec radio the slave transmitter will emit an RF signal, thus creating a potentially dangerous interference situation, and in some cases will burn up components in the slave and or master radio.

Hitec suggests that only the one-way Hitec trainer cord (#58310) be used with Hitec radio systems for training. Failing to do so will void the customers warranty and could create a potentially dangerous situation. Hitec apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our customers is our utmost concern.
