Futaba T12K (Mode 2) w/R3008SB Receiver 12-channel 2.4GHz S/T-FHSS Radio System

The Futaba 12K radio system offers a full 12 proportional plus 2 switched channels as well as extensive telemetry functions utilizing Futaba's well known T-FHSS transmission system, whilst also enabling non-telemetry use via the also included S-FHSS system. The backlit transmitter display provides all of the important information with just a quick glance on the home screen. It is simple and easy to navigate through the intuitive menu with the newly developed wheel interface and two option buttons. The new, compact yet ergonomically designed transmitter case is finished in a beautiful satin black with bold silver accents. There are 8 main switches (1x 2-Position, 1x 2-Position sprung and 6x 3-Position), 2 rotary dials and 2 easy-to-reach rear sliders. On the back there is an S-Bus port, headphone jack and a trainer jack, with a Micro SD slot for expandable memory in the battery box. The 12K has a text-to-speech function from audio output connector. So you can make sure of telemetry data safely without take your eyes off from your flying body. All this combined means the Futaba 12K provides a high-quality and sophisticated 12(+2) channel radio control system with high performance specifications at a attractive price point.

The T12K is supplied with a full range R3008SB 8-Channel T-FHSS receiver as standard. The R3008SB has 8 channels, diversity aerials for the best signal reception, S-Bus output and HV capability.

System Compatibility

- The 12K is a 2.4GHz T-FHSS Air system. The Futaba T-FHSS Air system cannot be used with Futaba FASST/FASSTest systems. 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.

- The T-FHSS Air system and T-FHSS surface system are different. The T12K cannot be used with the R304SB, R304SB-E or T-FHSS surface system receivers.

- The usable receivers are shown below (As of January 2018):

   T-FHSS Air: R3006SB, R3008SB & R3001SB

   S-FHSS: R2001SB, R2008SB, R2006GS & R2106GF
