Try it and see, I mix brands of equipment all the time and find they talk to one another just fine.

I have Graupner and Futaba/Robbe Tx and they with both RX's. The RX need to be shift sensing and Futaba and Graupner use different shifts - but most RX are auto shfit these days.

ive in the past mixed radios , sometimes it works other time not , these days i stick to matching brands & crystals when required ! you may have a slight range issue from finland to scotland though !

 Hi Wullie.
               My Graupner and futaba stuff wont talk to each other.  What I found is robbe, futaba, acoms, and hitec are compatible.

                                                              cheers Frank

I have to disagree... my robbe 2ch TX says by futaba on the front lol its basicly the attack and is used with both acoms and Futaba RX

My laser 6 TX is currently setup and talking to a 6ch futaba RX in my RC plane and the acoms 4ch rx in my King hauler

I think its a case of suck it and see.

Me and wullie have come to an agreement

Ill let people know the results
