Dear Futaba,
Hey...is it true that you guys are discontinuing the 8FG system and if so, Why?
The reason I ask is that after reading all the ads in the magazines and researching the features of the 8FG system it became my new dream radio. Now it's being discontinued? If it was so great why discontinue it? I just saved up the cash to buy one and now it is unavailable. I have all FASST stuff. I don't want to change that as I have so much cash wrapped up in FASST recievers. Futaba isn't moving away from FASST and into the other FSHH blah blah blah are they?
Let me know...


Sincerely, Steve

The 14SG is the replacement. Its programming is virtually identical to the 8FG, but it also has telemetry. The decision was made by Futaba, Japan, and they don't talk about their decisions.

FASST (or FASSTest) is not going away.

I see adds for conversions from PCM transmitters to 2.4 systems. Is this a reliable way? i would appreciate any information you have. Thank you "FLATHEAD"

Unfortunately, there are no Futaba-approved conversions for PCM transmitters to the 2.4 GHz protocol, unless you have a Futaba transmitter that uses a frequency module. Then, you can use the 2.4 GHz module in that transmitter. However, the transmitter sends a PPM signal to the 2.4 GHz FASST transmitter module. If your transmitter is PCM only, then there is no conversion/update available for it.
