What is that you are trying to convert, Tx, Rx or servo?

I have a Digifleet radio (as well as a few others!) I also have some ready made wires and plugs/sockets for connecting to a conventionally wired system. I cannot remember who I bought them from but I think it was either Hunter Systems or Action.

Hi BP.  I have just been out to my workshop to have a look.
Futaba wiring goes  black - red - white(sig) on the servo lead plug.

Digifleet wiring goes red - black - white.

So it looks like you just need to swap the red and black wires over.  I noticed that there are 2 tags on the blue digifleet servo plugs for orientation.  If you are using the same servo lead and socket then these will have to go.

good luck,
Roy
