Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
Ed, Forget about a 72MHZ module. Contact Horizon Hobbies or your local hooby shop and get a 2.4 GHZ transmitter module AND a 7000 full range receiver for just $110. I just installed this in one of my radios and my decond Supra fude and it works like a champ! Anker Ed Anderson wrote: Most of my planes are on a Futaba 9C super on channel 40. Seems my Ch 40 module is getting a bit flakey. Anyone got one cheap they want to get rid of? If not, I will probably get the synth module to replace it, but I prefer the single channel modules. They use a lot less power.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
I have two 9C Supers. One has a 2.4 GHz Spectrum module in it and 4 receivers. This handles my slope planes primarily. Over time I will migrate all to this. The other is on 72 MHz. I use both. I am not ready to replace the 12 receivers I have now on 72 MHz. I have ch 35 and 55 modules also, but all my planes are on 40, so for the cost of a channel module I can keep them flying till I migrate all to 2.4 over the next couple of years.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
All that I have read is that the synth modules use more power than the single channel modules. Perhaps the Futaba Synth is different. Any way, for the cost of one 2.4 GHz receiver, I can keep all my 72 MHz stuff flying on their current channel. That is worth it for now.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
Ed, Its certainly true for XPS and Spectrum, and its the Spectrum I am recommending, because the deal is so good. What happens is that even though the 2.4GHZ transmits at greater power than 72MHZ, they transmit in packets and between packets the transmitter isn't sending any signal. The net effect is that the total power drain goes down. I use both XPS and Spectrum and I can see it directly on how long my transmitter batteries last.

I actually measured the power consumption a few years ago. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.models.rc.air/msg/5a0063936df977d3 In any event, I'll bet you could find the synthesized module pretty cheap nowadays, as people are going 2.4 GHz. A channel 40 module would be even cheaper, but might be hard to find. Try ebay, rcgroups if RCSE doesn't come through. -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everything in excess!
