Help please!!
I have a Futaba 2 channel Dig. Proportional Trasmitter (T2ER---AM) 27 MHZ.
 Is it possible (1)to obtain a 3 channel Receiver 27 mhz. or (2)USE A 3 CHANNEL 40 MHZ. Receiver with the above Trasmitter. Any help  will be appreciated.
                                                    DC.

You can use the 27Mhz Rx, but NOT the 40Mhz. Number of channels is not important - as long as you have at least the same number as the Tx
Howes or Anglia Model Centre usually sell receivers cheaply. But why do you want 3 channels if the Tx is only 2?

Hi I am not sure what the purpose of trying to run a 3channel rec. from a 2channel transmitteris.  The transmitter is only able to send 2 streams of data on its 27MHz carrier, on AM it does this by modifying it amplitude (size) of the carrier. Therefore the receiver will demodulate (separate) the data and send it to the first 2 channels out, but will have NO data to send to the 3rd output. So without modifying the transmitter to include a 3rd channel (not impossible but not for novices) a 3 channel receiver is a wast of resources. As for using a 40MHz band receiver re crystaled for 27MHz it may receive 2channels if transmitter and receiver are a few inches apart, ie on the bench, but without serious realignment of the receiver (more than just retuning) maximum range between transmitter and receiver would be minimal.  
Sorry if I have used some technical words, but I find it difficult to explane a complex system in laymans terms, hope this has helped, rather than some sarcastic put down. The answer basically to your questions is no

Thank you Telstar, point taken. Thank you for your very full explaination.

 Thank you Barrieview. I have a  Quadswitch and a Twinlatch ,,my aim was to use the T.L. along with the Q.S.  so i would require an extra channel.

Any one any other suggestions ?

If you're referring to the ACTion units then you will need two separate channels just to operate the Twinlatch and the Quadswitch i.e. one channel for each. I think you might be best advised to research a 4 or even 6 channel set and leave the 2 channel for a simpler installation.

Hi If the quadswitch is the ACTion unit, I saw that demo'ed at Warwick, it shares a channel (in the demo the steering) and allows some crafty joystick work to switch on and off its four output switches, the only drawback is it introduces a one or two second delay on the rudder, of any quick full rudder stick movements. This unit is designed to share an existing channel. The Twin Switch I have no personal knowledge of so can't really comment
Hope this helps

Thank you  FLJ & Telstar for your helpful advice. I have decided to invest in a new transmitter , a 4 or 6 channel probably  Futaba.
