Good day!  I know the buddy cable can be used "master-slave" on 2
hitec transmitters.......  Can you mix transmitters?  That is, can you
use Hitec and Futaba (provided they both have the buddy capability)?
Thanks for helping someone still learning in this great hobby.

This warning to use only a Hitec trainer cord is correct.  However,
removing the Xtal or module from the slave transmitter also solves the
problem. Hitec doesn't make a cord that fits Futaba's 6EX or 9C radios,
so you might have to use a Futaba supplied cord in these situations.
The Hitec trainer cord is OK to use with Futaba to Futaba as well as
Futaba to Hitec.

I don't advise it but believe it is possible as long as the Hitec is the
master radio, you use a genuine Hitec cord with the master plug in the Hitec
radio, and the Futaba radio as the slave with the transmitter disabled by
removing the crystal.
