Futaba PCM radio question

[Duck899]

I have a couple of Futaba PCM 1024 (FC-3UCP) stick radios with R113ip receivers. The question is; Does anyone know if they require a special crystal to function in the receiver? Or, can one use a standard futaba FM crystal?

Thanks.....

I answered my own question by going to the futaba site.....The crystal required is stock # FUTL52** where ** is the frequency. The crystals I have currently are FUTL59**'s....They do not work but are for standard FM receivers.....Off to the hobby shop on saturday.....they sold me the wrong ones.....Thanks for all the speedy replies.....

Yes Wrong put crystal FUTL59** for only long DC (daul conversion)crystal must change use FM 75MHZ Frequency ch# 61 to 90( FUTL52**) just watch out make sure FM not AM also check TX module 75MHZ FM. Good Luck

hi! i have a question, what is the main difference between FM and PCM? and i have read that it has built in failsafe, is the failsafe for all the channels? meaning does it presets all channels whenever theres a loss of signal?

sorry i don't want to start another thread thinking that my questions also fall in this thread.

thanks!

I know tat you can set the throttle and ruder to fails safe I have mine set to throttle off and full right rudder when the signal is lost

ive seen you race and you only turn right and dont touch the throttle but i thought you kept it pegged. Mike
