This is a no news item in reality!!! It seems that a Futaba is a Futaba as far as range is concerned. I thought we might see a difference as the T6K is distinctly older tech than the T10J.

This morning I ran up the T6K Futaba with R3006SB Receiver in a glassfibre hull (IOM) with the lid on …. in the same position as all the other tests.

Within about a metre, the T6K/R3006 radio gave identical range to the T10J/R3006 – in the same league as Radiomaster TX15 with a ceramic aerial ER3Ci Receiver. On a straight line of sight, you can go a jolly long way. Let’s call it 200 metres.

As the boat today was a glass fibre IOM (K2) there was no need for an antenna frame – the beautiful SailboatRC pot has threading holes to position the antennae appropriately.
