FUTABA USA

[Timbo Whalen]

Have you checked with Radio South.
Back in the day, they were the "go to" for radio repairs

They still around?....back in the day they 'hot rodded' my 3EGX and made a lot of improvements to it, especially range.
Worked very well with one of those short, loaded heli antennas.

You said you seen this on 4 pm so what was the fix?

 

[Grimracer]

sorry.. meant 4PK.. a new transmitter antenna was needed.

I wonder if there are any of the clear plastic doors for the 3pb that break off the lock tab hiding anywhere in the world?

 

[Grimracer]

well.. you will have to keep checking the vintage forums.. that system came out in 1992!

 

[FloridaScaleBoater]

Grim, do we have to call Futaba USA to buy the 400mm antennas?
Couldn't find them on the website.

 

[Grimracer]

yes.. they dont "sell them" to the public however.. (Unless that policy has changed, call to check that out).. I dont know the current status of that.. (FCC stuff from there point)

I know it's really too new to be having problems.

 

[Grimracer]

thats a good old system... I have seen them at a few swap meets in the past.
