There is a 12FGA that is available (not here) with various RF modules that is PCM and has the wireless frequency changing function that we all know and love. And there is the 2.4Ghz 12FG that has a completely different antenna mount. You would be hard pressed to put a standard antenna on the 2.4Ghz 12FG. They use the same case and I think the photo is of a pre-production unit.

The very first post of this thread is talking about the new TX and showing a 12FGA.

Look at the 12FGA on the futaba site. This one is not 2.4Ghz.

I will get with Futaba and let you know. The antenna issue was not address by Bax in that thread on RCU.

O.K., thanks
I'm just trying to figure this out.

ANd look at this photo from the 2.4gigahertz website. It clearly shows this radio as being named "12FGA". It also has the PCM-G3 AND the FASST logos on the name plate (left of display).

It is possible that this is a simple Phototshop job for the press release, since it is hard to figure how the antenna situation would work.

I am also guessing that by next week there will be more details available. This is a very exciting development and I know people are anxious to know EVERYTHING about the new stuff, but a little patience is going to go a long ways here!!

One question I was asked that I want to confirm the answer to (not following my own advice) is this:

The new 12FGA has a SD card media rather than the CF card used in the 12Z and 14MZ. Will the files be the same format (.mdl) so that I can transfer a filed viz my computer from the CF card in my 14MZ onto the SD card for the 12FGA??

TrojanMan, Another question...
if i'll use the new Module on my 9C, i need to remove the original Antena? or just leave it closed??
it won't interrupt the 2.4Ghz small Antenna that came out of this new Module?

Currently it is suggested that you remove the original antenna when you use the 2.4GHz module.

Thanks.. OK..
if we suppose to remove the Original Antenna, Futaba should give us something nice to Plug in the hole of the old Antenna

or i'll just make one to plug in, i'll make it at work.. with Flying Giants small logo
