Hi,
I have a Futaba radio, and was wondering if it will work with a JR receiver. I think it won't be a probelm....

Thanx,

In the 72 MHz band (as used in Canada), JR and Futaba are not compatible.

Sorry...

Sorry, but you are out of luck.

Futaba uses a negative shift system and JR uses a positive shift system.

My Hitec Eclipse 7 will do either positive shift or negative shift so I'm assuming it would be compatible. Maybe your's has that option too? I dont know though.

Jarret,

You cannot mix and match Futaba and JR (or Airtronics for that matter). You can mix Futaba and Hitec. Hitec also makes a Rx specifically for JR or Futaba. IIRC you need to install a furnished jumper wire on the Rx. That is a special application. The majority of Hitec Rx's are not like that and they will only be compatible with Futaba or their native Hitec Tx's.

If you buy a Hitec Eclipse Tx then you can use any Rx you want. In the programming menu there's an option to allow you to change the shift from positive to negative.

hope this helps.....
