Default receiver voltage ?

I have a Futaba FP-R127DF receiver.
Can I run a 6 volt battery to it?
Is it good for 4.8V to 6V ?

It DOES NOT work on 6 volts. You'll get spontaneous glitches on your servos with freshly charged 6V battery. I had this issue with two of these receivers. Stick with 4.8, or regulate to slightly under 6 Volts until the glitches go away.

i have been using 6.0v with the receiver for a four or five years, i have had no proublems, you do get chattering servos when you have a fresh pack, but after 1 flight it goes away once the pack dies off
