R2001SB
S-FHSS 2.4GHz System
S.BUS Port and 1 Channel (CH3) for Conventional System
Receiver
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R2001SB S-FHSS 2.4GHz compatible receiver.
The R2001SB has an S.BUS system output port and a conventional system channel output. It can also be used with
conventional system servos, etc. in addition to S.BUS system compatible servos and gyros.
Applicable systems: Futaba S-FHSS 2.4GHz system and TM-FH RF Module
