Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / November 2007Tranmitters and receivers.
Which transmitters and receivers are you guys running in your boats? What are your likes and dislikes?  Signaturemudbugnla I'm currently using a Futaba 3PK with the 2.4GHZ Fasst module and R603FS receivers. Highly recommend this set up. SignatureJohn Some of the guys around here are using the Spektrum and are having a LOT of trouble. Seems when the lake is below where they are standing, the signal won't dip down to the water level or something. Serious range problems. I use a JRXS3 synthesized radio. No troubles. > Which transmitters and receivers are you guys running in your boats? > What are your likes and dislikes? Yep, I tried Spektrum 2.4GHZ and was having glitches. Since I've switched over to the Futaba 2.4GHZ Fasst system, I haven't had any problems - touch wood. Both my Sons run JRXS3 40MHz radios on their boats with no problems. SignatureJohn I'm also looking to buy. I only "play" with boats - planes are my main hobby. I was leaning toward the Spektrum DX7 and using the 6000 receiver in my boat. Now I'm wondering if such a setup might have the same problems you have had. > Yep, I tried Spektrum 2.4GHZ and was having glitches. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Both my Sons run JRXS3 40MHz radios on their boats with no > problems. if you have the aerial pointed at the model I believe you get this problem, the simple cure is to have the TX aerial vertical rather than coming straight out of the TX as in a conventional TX, I could be wrong but I don't have a set to confirm it Kevin > I'm also looking to buy.

The radiation pattern of the monopole antenna has minimum signal (transmit and receive) in the direction the monopole is pointing (there is a null). >> I'm also looking to buy.

I wrote Spektrum online and they told me that they do not recommend using their systems for boats. I wrote a similar thread to this one in rcuniverse and a few of them were using Spektrum, but I wanted to make sure there were no hangups. I use JR and Futaba on my airplanes and I like both of their systems. I am wanting to setup one radio I can use on multiple boats with good reception and compatibility. Signaturemudbugnla |
