I agree, Kinger. I've got the 2.4g 7ch module for my older radios, and a couple of the 6EX radios already. With others switching to 2.4g, I have hardly had to wait for a frequency pin with my 72 mhz radio. At the recent Fly-for-Tots flyin, we had to wait ONCE, and that was with 200 registered pilots.

I'm actually thinking of getting the 12FG now since it comes with the 72 mhz synthesized module (can fly ALL my exiting stuff) and then get the 14ch FASST module when it becomes available. I don't think they sell the 72 mhz module separately.

I like the Futaba modules since they simply plug in, no cable and separate antenna to worry about. That is how I am using my 7ch module now. IMHO, this is a better option for the Futaba radios.

Does anyone know the actual answer to this question:

"If I plug a TM14 module into my 12Z, will it use the 2048 resolution. I see the 6014 rcvr is capable 2048 and that the 12FG 2.4 apparently operates at 2048, but is a 12Z with TM14 sending 2048 or not?"

Please, no guesses or conjecture. I have been trying to find out the actual answer to this question but can't seem to get the solid facts.

Hi, Shannah-

No conjecture...here's the facts for you: When using the TM-14 with the R6014FS receiver, you will indeed be taking advantage of the 2048 resolution.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to let me know.

It shouldn't be long. The TM14 is FCC legal now, the report is up on the OET site.
