Radio System FAQ

I am thinking of purchasing an aftermarket Tx module for my module radio. Is this okay to do? Does this affect my warranty?

There are many aftermarket items that fit specific needs and are terrific products to use. Unfortunately, the use of a non-stock Tx module in Futaba modular radios (current systems include 8U series, 9Z series, 3PJ series) is not one of these circumstances.

Based upon FCC regulation 95.645(b), and the advice of our lawyers and the AMA who have analyzed and discussed this issue with the FCC, we must indicate that we believe that any non-Futaba module to be against FCC regulation to use in a Futaba transmitter.

As such, we cannot support this type of use in any manner or we would be violating FCC regulation as well. Therefore we cannot service a radio which is using any aftermarket Tx module, and its use voids the radio's warranty. Please also note that making modifications to your radio system may void your insurance coverage, so we strongly recommend against doing so.
