Transmitter and receiver

[jonzo]

I need a good boat receiver for a futaba magnum 3pm-Fs transmitter.
Any suggestions.
Read a lot just can’t figure out witch one I would need.
Thanks.

It doesn't much matter which one. You just need a 2 channel. Just get one that works with your radio.

I was looking at a futaba r603fs but not sure it will work with my transmitter

Oh, sorry. That's an old radio. If you even find a Rx for it, it's going to be pretty pricey. Do yourself a favor and just grab a Flysky GT3B off Amazon. Great radio for around $40, and Rx's for them are less than $10 each.

there should be a list in manual for that dinosaur fm radio...unlikely you will find one new so facebook or ebay..no 2.4 will work

these are the only 2 I could find listing for for that radio..R133F/R203HF
gotta get the right crystal also ...That radio also came with a tunable transmitter on radio..

If this was my radio Id upgrade to a new 2.4 system.Might be less of a hassle in the end..FM gets interference from everywhere..many lower-cost radios with receiver these days.like 27$ on amazon. the dont have all the mixing or options that ole girl does..

Thanks for the info.
I figured on buying something new.
Definitely not on FB or EBay that’s why I’m looking for one my FB boat was supposed to but it didn’t.
Oh yea it’s all there.

A lot of folks here have the Flysky GT3B. Worth every penny. And it will be better than any old tech Futaba.

Thanks
I’ll check that out.
Also is there a site that shows how to rebuild a k&b 7.5 outboard
Thanks again.
