Fraid not, as far as I can tell - the 2ER is an AM set so the offset between the Tx and Rx crystals is different.

I wasn't aware that Futaba did a 2 channel set in FM, I thought they were all AM. Is yours a new or old set?

Cheers

Hi Roy

What is/are the designation(s) of your sets? Are they new or have you had them for some time?

Just curious

Both sets are about 10 to 15 years old, and still work perfectly.....

Roy, Stavros

Do I take it that these TXs are no longer available? I can't see any FM 2 channel TXs in the RIPMAX catalogue. Should I look elsewhere?
