The 12K is a 2.4GHzT-FHSSAirsystem. The transmitter can also be switched to S-FHSS. (However, the telemetry
system cannot be used with S-FHSS.) The usable receivers are shown below.
NOTE：
*The Futaba T-FHSSAir system cannot be used with Futaba S-FHSS/FASST/FASSTest systems.
Use it with a T-FHSSAirsystem transmitter and receiver. The T12K is a T-FHSSAirsystem,
but can also be used with an S-FHSS receiver by switching to S-FHSS. However, in this case the
telemetry system cannot be used.
*The T-FHSSAirsystem and T-FHSS surface system are different. The T12Kcannot be used with
the R304SB,R304SB-E or T-FHSS surface system receivers.
