Hi,

Just saw two type of Futaba R617fs receivers, with and without Made in China inscription, they are both genuine?





Thanks

Its also writing Empfaenger on the box, is that receiver in german is writing Empfanger. Strange

All my 617's receivers are made in Taiwan none are made in China, and I get them from USA hobby shops on Ebay. Have never seen a 617 made in China, only thing made in China is Frsky FAAST compatable RX's as far as i know.

After confirmation from Robbe Germany and futaba service, both are Genuine, thanks

I just bought one from Tower and I am having a problem getting it to link to my transmitter. The manual says it is compatible; anyone have the same problem. I have the 8TF transmitter. I just looked at the box and the receiver is made in China. Any thoughts?

Make sure 7CH modulation is showing on the main screen, not MultiMode. That's the most likely problem.

What's an "8TF" transmitter? Certainly not a Futaba unit, not with that designation. Did you make a typo?

Herbs_007

I agree Bax, isnt that the Frsky copy rx designation? Didnt know they had a transmitter as well?

I have several R617FS receivers and they all came from Tower Hobbies. Some say made in Taiwan, some say made in China. They look and perform exactly the same.
