Dave and Perry,
I bought one of these receivers a few days ago. When I read Perry's post
I rushed down to the workshop to check if my new purchase worked. It is
marked "use with Hitec or Futaba Tx".
It works perfectly with both my JR and Futaba transmitters.
I have been mixing JR, Futaba, and Hitec equipment indiscriminately, and
successfully, for years. This applies to PPM only of course. I also have
an FMA Direct receiver that works perfectly with JR or Futaba
transmitters. It is marked as Futaba compatible.
I always use an Rx crystal of the same brand as the Rx it is used with.
I understand some combinations of brands do work together, but the only
mixture I ever tried did not.
I often read, from US sources, of problems of compatibility between
different brands, but it does not seem to happen here. Is it possible
the manufacturers are supplying equipment built to different standards
in different parts of the world?
