My 10 channel Futaba transmitter! Yes, it is in fact a 10Z!
Last weekend I discovered that my 9Z-WC in fact transmits a 10th channel! Channel 10 is non-proportional just like channel 9 and is permanently assigned to switch-D.
The signal for channel 10 is produced by the PCM decoder chip (FR6302B) and available inside the receiver. It can be accessible externally with an easy and inexpensive modification. All you need is a 470 Ohm resistor, a 470pF capacitor and a servo socket. I have updated my website with details on how to obtain this 10th channel from you PCM receiver. You will find a photo of my modified FP-R129DP in the DIY page and a brief description in the service menu section.
So why didn’t Futaba call it 10Z?
