FP-R148DF
 

I just picked up a used 148DF from a member on RCG, and I didn't realize that it is a micro receiver. It is a Dual Conversion, but do you think I may be limited in distance as compared to a 168DF? I am only planning on putting it in a 4*40.
Thanks,
Curtis

http://www.gpdealera.com/cgi-bin/wga...pgm?I=FUTL0812 makes no comments about being short range. I am of the belief that it is simply a 4 channel version of the R168DF.

RE: FP-R148DF
 

Its an 8 channel full range, dual conversion, FM (ppm) reciever.

What makes you think its a micro?

The 146iP is a micro.

The guy he bought them from said they were micro.

I have one and it has always worked perfect on my 60 size plane

LOL oh ok.

Its slim but they were using the word micro on that thing before recievers became smaller than quarters! :)

Its all good.

FWIW I use one in a 2.5m glider, and when thermaling it at the ragged edge of being able to see it and the receiver has performed flawlessly.

It's funny. The thing is about half the size of the 168DF, but twice as large as the 156F (which is a micro as well). It looks like it is in the same era as those two, but definately not a micro sized Rx. Glad to hear it works so well, looking forward to using it.

They called it MICRO because it is smaller then a bread box. ;) A bread box is a, oh never mind, my age is showing again.;)
