 Just a quick question, maybe silly,.
Does the receiver for a 2.4 transmitter have to be the same make or can you mix and ma :embarrassed like the old fm / am sets ?

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

OK.   A quick answer.

Yes.        This is because of their designs and operating sequences.

Hope this helps

Sure does. I was looking to buy a new 2.4 radio or 2nd hand one, but did`nt want to get stuck with cheaper one where the recievers were too expensive.
Thanks

Kenny is almost right - but it is possible to buy compatible receivers for both Spektrum DSM2 and Futaba.

Im not sure what you mean by cheap sets cost a lot for extra recs. Radio link, Planet etc all have cheap extra recs. It is the more expensive sets like Futuba that cost a lot for extra recs. Always ask before buying. John.

I'm pretty sure the cheapest 2.4ghz receivers are the Orange models which are compatible with Spektrum DSM2 kit. Well under a fiver for a six channel receiver.

I use Spektrum and Corona equipment, the latter is used on retrofitted radio sets. The Corona receivers are about twice the price, but come in 4 and 8 channel versions. Still cheap at well under a tenner. I guess the price differential is only likely to be an issue of you have a ton of models to fit out.

Sorry to drop in on this thread but I have now come up with a question for those who would know
I run multi models on my 40MHz Futaba tx (all the rec) have the same Xtail freq so I can just turn on which ever model and set the transmitter to that saved settings.
So here is the question
Can I get three of my models to be on 2.4 and use the same transmitter ? would I need to 'bind' to each model each time or once the rec is bound when it is turned on it would work.

If I took three models to the lake all with 2.4 rec and my one 2.4 trans could I just run one until battery dies then turn off that model and the TX then turn on the TX and the next model, would I need to bind this model again?

I dont want to take several TX's as well as models to the lake (I only have one pair of arms)

you can bind as many receivers to a 2.4 transmitter as you want. you only have to bind the receiver to the tx once, then you can swap between models just as you do with your current set up

You can bind as many compatible 2.4 receivers as you wish to a single transmitter and with one of these programmable types, each boat can have it's own settings -
