    Features T-FHSS Air system The T12K transmitter has adopted the bidirectional communication system "T-FHSS Air" . Data from the receiver can be checked on your transmitter. T-FHSS Air is a maximum 14 channels (linear 12 channels + switch 2 channels) 2.4GHz dedicated system.

  • Page 12: Contents And Technical Specifications

    *The Futaba T-FHSS Air system cannot be used with Futaba S-FHSS/FASST/FASSTest systems. Use it with a T-FHSS Air system transmitter and receiver. The T12K is a T-FHSS Air system , but can also be used with an S-FHSS receiver by switching to S-FHSS . However, in this case the telemetry system cannot be used.

    Link procedure T-FHSS Air (T12K/R3008SB) Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter.
