Futaba 4PX with FASST receivers

[Pheyd]

I just got my 4PX (which is a very sweet radio btw). In my eagerness, I bought a 3 channel receiver for my boat (R603FS) without much thought since I don't need 4 channels.

Get it home all excited, setup the drop down wheel, power it up, play with the settings, I go to bind only to discover it's not working. Rookie mistake, didn't read the instructions, my receiver is a C1 type and not compatible with the radio. DAMNIT. I'm going to my LHS and will return the receiver for a C2 type.

Now my question is which receiver should I have bought in the first place? The manual specifies the R614FS/FF-E and R604FS/FS-E. Futaba's website doesn't have the R604 listed, can't find any info. Anyone have details on these FASST receivers and recommend one to get (I need an external antenna as my hull is lined with carbon fiber).

Reading quickly on the Futaba Website it doesn't list the R604's being compatible with the 4PX. I don't have the 4PX, but do use Futaba equipment.

Compatible with these T-FHSS, S-FHSS and FASST receivers: R304SB, R304SB-E, R614FS, R614FF-E, R2104GF, R204GF-E, R203GF and others as they are developed.

I had to sell 5 of the 603's they are not compatible. I'm using the 614FS on my FE boats and the 304SB on my nitro boats for the telemetry on the voltage of the RX pack.

the R603 come FF and something else I am saying you need the FF I would buy them from you !

The 603ff only has an external antennae the 603fs has two, internal and external. Good thing tho the new receivers are half the price and smaller.

Yep the 4pks and 4pksr will run all those and the 603fs the new 4px will not run the 603fs
