Using Futaba FHSS system?

[Johnnysplits]

Just found this...no antenna!! Pretty cool Futaba R204GF-E High Voltage 2.4GHz S-FHSS 4-Channel Micro Receiver [FUTL7604] | Radios & Accessories - A Main Hobbies

I have three of these.
Two in scalers and one in my b4.2 buggy.
They work great. Haven't had a problem with range yet.

Make sure they work for your TX....what works on a 3PM-x won't work on a 4PL....

PS, I know the 4PL requires you to change/select the correct mode when using different RX's.

Make sure your tx isn't a FASST system. If you need cheap brass check hobby kings FrSky FASST rx's. Cheaper than that one

I use these ones Futaba R2106GF 2.4GHz FHSS 6-Channel Micro Receiver [FUTL7605] | Radios & Accessories - A Main Hobbies and they work great!!! Have one in a scaler and my xr and haven't had ny range issues.

The 4PL is an FHSS system...not Fasst

This a thread about fhss receivers. Why are we even talking about fasst?

Wish I knew!! I KNOW the difference between FHSS and Fasst systems. I have both. I started this thread just to see if anyone were using this particular Rx. I thought it was cool just for the fact that it's antenna-less.

Yes, it states "fhss"....but where does it state which radio is to be used?? Futaba uses a couple of different types of communication protocols, usually FASST or FHSS, for newer 2.4ghz radios.
Within FHSS, there are 2 differnt types, you have to select the correct one.

Would not be the 1st time someone found a "great & cheap RX" only to find later it won't work with the TX.

The FHSS receiver compatibility chart on the Futaba website shows what receiver will work with what radios.
Futaba® FHSS & S-FHSS Rx/Tx Compatibility

For the 4 PL it even has it broken down by S-FHSS normal and high modes.
I have one of the R204GF-E receivers and it works with both modes with the 4PL.

Click on the link in post #1, then read line two of the description. It also states it on the Futaba site.

Really? In order to discuss futaba fhss receivers we need to list every futaba fhss transmitter?

Check the specs...

Check the specs...

You all miss my point....how do I know which TX the OP is using?? I fully understand what RX's work with which TX....I'm a long time Futaba guy and recommend them 1st, hacked GT3B/C 2nd.

Get off my butt.......how do I know the RX in question not was looking to be paired with a 3PM-x??????

Show me where the 1st post states the OP was using a 4PL......go ahead...show me.......

Post 5 is the 1st time the TX was stated.......

You are missing our point. This thread is about a fhss rx. Did you read the title? It doesn't read "using some random 2.4 radio?"

It's beside the point but his sig states he is using a 4pl.

I was not trying to get on your butt about this and if my post sounded this way I am sorry.

I posted the link the compatibility chart so people could see what radios work with what radios and gave my personal experience with the receiver.

Also I totally agree with your comments about having some kind of documentation about the receiver comparability before spending $$$$$ before you know it works.

I guess I should if made my post simpler. I will try it again.

Before buying any FSHH receiver for use with your Futaba radio check this chart. Futaba® FHSS & S-FHSS Rx/Tx Compatibility

OK, I will admit I missed that....likely like most others that would just read the thread & not look at his sig.

Then again, I run 2 different radios, the OP may also but not list all of his. Shrug.

I will yield, not worth pissing on further.

You posted a good link for others to use.
Thanks.

I will assume the info is good for others, pissing is over, thus we can continue on as always.

Hope all have a nice weekend of crawling.

Don't forget, tomorrow is Mothers Day.

While I may come off as a "Mother", I'm not a Mom, so remember yours.

I use this rx in my scaler with a 3pl works great no problems other than when i bought my first one and took my rig out i forgot to fill the hole in my radioshack project box where all the wires come out and i submerged the rig and it kept running the rest of the run but when i went to run it the next day the rx was ruined. but i have learned my lesson.
