Can a Futaba 8U or 9C tranmitter be used with a Hitec PCM 7 channel receiver ? Has any body tried it ?

Where did you hear that Hitec is making a 9 channel PCM receiver? On their web page they only list a 7 channel PCM receiver and state that it can only be used with a Prism 7 PCM transmitter.

Thanks for the info Big Bird, I meant to say 7 channel not 9.
I read a post where some one said they were using a Hitec PCM RX with a Futaba transmitter and thought I'd ask.

Figueroa,
I'm sorry, no, as far as I know you can't use a HiTec PCM with a Futaba Tx.

I used my Hitec 7 channel FM reciever with my Futaba 9CAP. PPM (FM) or PCM, nothing really very different IMO.

You can use a Hitec PPM/FM receiver with a Futaba Tx, no problem.

But PCM is actually very different. Each manufacturer uses their own incompatible coding scheme. It simply does not work, unless you've actually tried different PCM combinations and know better ?
