transmitter/reciever compatability
 

Which recievers can be used with a Futaba radio system (T6EXA,T6AX,T4YF). Which are the best and which should be avoided. Thanks

RE: transmitter/reciever compatability
 

You can use Futaba brand receivers, and any aftermarket reciever with "negative", or selectable shift.
As far as the "best", I don't want to go there. Will start a big "pi$$ing" match.

RE: transmitter/reciever compatability
 

Futaba 72 MHz users wishing to use after market receivers are limited to those which are PPM with negative or auto shift. Comparison charts of RX with FAQ and photos may assist. (Graupner are rebadged JR).
See also "Radio Systems, Accessories, Alterations and FAQ " sub section "Receiver - FAQ, guides and aids to best reception." on my web page for more information.

RE: transmitter/reciever compatability
 

In the Futaba brand, pick a RX with matching modulation (PPM or PCM) and in the same band (27,50,72,etc) and if 72 MHz, one that is matching as far as HI/LO if not one of the new ones that is good for both. For aftermarket RX's this is not an issue. Dual conversion RX/s are also to be preferred over single if range is an issue as they usually have better selectivity and sensitivity (range). Small (park flyer) RX's are OK for Park Flyers and planes of limited range flying and light weight.
