Default Linking 2 RX R2008 on MZ18

Hello,

I want to extend the number of channels on my model, could a link a second R2008SB to have a total of 16 channels knowing that i am using a Futaba MZ18 Tx.
Positively please advise how to proceed.
As i understood this operation is possible with the R7008SB but i only have the R2008SB..
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

The 18MZ does not support dual receiver (with separate channels on the 2 different receivers) in S-FHSS mode. You can link two of the receivers, but you will get the same 8 channels out of both.

You can get up to 18 channels if you use S.Bus.

Bill,

Thanks for the reply. Please confirm my understanding. You can achieve a 16 channels setup with two R7008SB correct?

That is correct. You can get 1-8 on the primary RX and then 9-16 on the second one.

The R7008Sb in dual mode allows 16 channels
The R7006SB allows 12 channels in dual mode.
The R3008SB will give you 10 channels in dual mode.

Bill

thanks again for the reply. But I am afraid that the R3008SB is a T-FHSS and therefore not compatible with the MZ 18. Is my understanding correct? The option of having Dual R7008SB is also not economical from this point of view as they cost more than a 14 or 18 ch. RX.
Finally, I was unable to find the R7066SB, did you mean R7006SB?

Thanks again

If you have the 18MZ it does not do T-FHSS. If you have the 18MZ-WC it does do T-FhSS.

Sorry, that was a late night typo. R7006SB
