I do not have a JR transmitter but I do have Hitec and Futaba transmitters. Even though they are the same polarity on the transmitters, the plugs are different sizes.
Do you mean Hitech/Futuba servos? What do you mean "the same polarity on the transmitters" ? If its what I think you mean,the charging plugs are reversed,
meaning the center pin on the Tx(JR) is negative.....not positive like Futaba.

I was talking about the charge plug receptacle in the side of the transmitter. They are different sizes on Hitec and Futaba. I do not know about the size of the JR but I do know the polarity is reversed on the JR compared with the Futaba and Hitec

Ok..I understand.
Looks like if I was to purchase the Hitec SupremeIIS Autoshift DC Rx, I could then use either my Futaba or JR Tx's(same Channel's) and servos,batts....Correct?
Sorry this is so drawn out..trying to see the big picture here....thx again.

Another Question....,
Does this mean that my Airframe switch(on/off, charge) could be used for both
JR and Futaba. Meaning that my old/basic Futaba switch can be used on our newer
system.
thanks,
Perry

Yes your old JR switch hasrness will fit both the JR and new Hitec Rx. If you use a Futaba battery pack you will need to cut of the flange of the Futaba J plug with a #11 blade and shave it a bit. Any modeler who has been arond a bit can show you how to do this. You do need to get involved with a club and find a mentor as teaching oneself and just depending on these forums and a sim can get very expensive indeed.

Thanks again guys,
I will be joining a club near by as soon as I get fresh batterys and such.I have been out of
A/C R/C for about 8 years,I do know how to fly,own 9 planes, been flying off and on for over 30 years, but sure
have forgotten alot.All my a/c are Futaba equiped except the last one which is going to JR, thats why I have all
the questions regarding Futaba and JR match-ups.
It all sounds like that if I use the Hitec Supreme IIS Autoshift Dc Rx,I can now use either Futaba or JR
equipment, thanks to friends like you.........us old and new timers can learn this hobby without having
to take a box of trash bags to the field.

Hats Off,
Perry
