S.A

Im looking to buy a new radio system for my boat, but i dont know what i should get, my knowledge is
very small in this area, so i need your input.

Its a small 15inch (40cm) and fast boat, that allso can go under water 1-2 meters so i need the
radio to work under water, that will rule out 2.4ghz systems right ?
i want the radio to have a good range so i can go out to a nice distance.

I have been looking at this system Futaba 3PM-FS Pro 3 Syntheziser 40mhz, dont know if thats good for me ?

What do you recommend ? same price range +/-

Kind Regards S.A

My Feedback: (25)

2.4GHz systems have issues *on* water - much less *under* water.

The 3PM is a solid radio with plenty of features. If it fits your budget, go for it.

Thanks, i will have a look at it, in the shop tomorrow.

FWIW I use a Futaba 3PM 2.4FASST radio in several fast electric and gas powered boats. Rock solid, no issues. These boats run at speeds between 80 km/h and 112 km/h.

I have been looking at that to but will it be reliable under water to ?
