The latest version of the incredibly popular Futaba T6J series of Futaba radios.
Probably the biggest feature is being able to adjust travel end points of servos.
Whilst RMG sail winches can be adjusted on the winch, hitec drums and arms along with all other popular servos on the market you simply end up with as many turns as the winch comes with from the factory.
Upshot is , if you need to adjust a drum winch's travel, the hitec optic 5 will not be up to the job, however the futaba will do!
Featuring T-FHSS Air telemetry system, the Futaba 6K is a high performance radio for model Sailboats
Telemetry function
The Futaba 6K has text-to-speech functionality from audio output connector. It displays each information, alarm sounds and vibrations, so you can make sure of telemetry data safely without having to look down from flying. Its vibrator function will inform you of voltage drops.
Jumbo, LED screen
The LED screen will inform you about warnings such as mixing or low battery. The big font makes it easy to read the screen and it’s easy to control using jog dial to scroll up and down, left and right. You can navigate through menus forward and backward with the same ease. The volume allows you to change the AUX channels (5ch and 6ch).
R3006SB (T-FHSS Air Receiver)
The included R3006SB T-FHSS air receiver is S.BUS-compatible and features Dual Antenna Diversity. It also comes equipped to handle high voltage applications. It also supports Futaba’s S-FHSS system receivers, so you can also use R2006GS.
FHSS technology
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) eliminates signal interference and frequency pins. It offers sailors a less expensive way to enjoy 2.4GHz dependability. Other advantages include extremely low latency, exceptionally fast frame rates, transmitters with no external antennas and low-cost receivers with easy link convenience.
As the name implies, the transmitter signal of an FHSS system literally hops from frequency to frequency in a pseudorandom sequence. The combination of frequency hopping with Futaba's advanced algorithms creates 100% frequency security.
Futaba FHSS and S-FHSS systems are also compatible with models that display the FTR (Futaba Transmitter-Ready) symbol. It means that the model's factory-installed receiver is FHSS-compatible and can be linked and used with an FHSS transmitter you already own.
