Default Futaba 3PV question

I recently pick one of these up and really like it so far. But I am wondering if anyone knows how to use the 3rd channel. I have read just about everything and the manual isn’t clear to me. I want to use my third channel to run my warn winch but not sure if the radio has a 2 or 3 position 3rd channel. I plan on using the HeyOK wiring. I have used the RC4WD wireless remote but after going through 2 of them recently, I want to try something different. I can’t figure out why I am burning these wireless units up. I am running on 3s.

The third channel is just 2 position. I use it for my shift servo. flip one direction, its low gear, flip the other, and its high gear.

(Just leaving these links here in case you weren't aware of them)

If you only have a two position channel to work with, you can use this to operate your winch:
Winch Controller for Radio with 2 Position Third Channel

Or try one of my wireless winch controllers.
Wireless Winch Controller
Dual Wireless Winch Controller
Wireless Winch and Dual Light Controller
