Not sure about the g460 but I have used a futaba 502 gyro
with a JR 652 radio and it worked fine.
But if you where to take the g460 back I would say go for the
Futaba 401 Its a good gyro and you will find a lot of help here
on how to set it up

I Read the manual on your G460 and YES it will work with your
Radio.
I think it says it mite not work with some radios is because you
need a free channel to use for the gain settings wich is usually
done on channel six.
I didn,t see any way to set the gain on the gyro itself and you need to be able to set the gain in normal and hh mode.
