I have bought it, and I want to use it with a 6EXA transmitter that I have not yet bought. Will it work?

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

is it positive shift or negative?



there are certain areas where I refuse to cut corners... serovs and Rx's are at the top of that list

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

positive shift

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

then it won't work....



Futaba uses negative shift, JR uses positive

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

Well, actually that was a guess. I thought that North America used negative, and the rest of the world used postive. In that case, it is whatever is most common.

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

they both are most common.... it depends on your Radio brand....

as mentioned Futaba (and a few others) use negative shift, and JR(and others) use positive....

at least here in the States that is how it is....

RE: Why is this reciever so cheap?
 

I have read, here on RCU, that Futaba uses positive shift everywhere, but the US. Don't how true that may be.

I think Futaba made it for "customer fidelity". You know what it means: incompatibility even with their own positive shift receivers. I suppose Futaba customers, specially those who had many positive shift receivers, are very happy.

Hitec and Multiplex Tx allows transmitting in positive or negative shift.

According to the item description it works with "ALL" PPM transmitters.

It is rated for 800 meter range

There is no positive and negative shift in Europe - more or less any 35mhz Tx will work with more or less any 35mhz Rx.

The receiver may work fine, but like exeter, I wouldn't take the risk, except maybe for a for a small light foamy type of model, and even for one of these I'd use a known cheapo brand like GWS. Anything more complex, more delicate or more dangerous gets a better Rx. Most recent one I bought was a Hyperion DSP (same circuitry as a Berg, but on 35mhz) which is supposed to have some of the best glitch protection out there, better than PCM.

Its only for a 3channel glider, so I'll take the risk...

Remember, you get what you pay for.
