Futaba 12K S-FHSS and T-FHSS 12-channel 2.4GHz Radio with R3008SB 8 channel Rx - FUTK9300
This is the Futaba 12K which combines first-class performance with incredible versatility to create a system that’s easy to operate, yet feature-packed! Available in systems perfectly matched for airplanes, helis and gliders, the 12K is also compatible with multi-rotors, so pilots get the best of all worlds. Equipped with the rock-solid Futaba S-FHSS and T-FHSS protocols, the 12K is compatible with almost a dozen different Futaba receivers to suit modelers' needs. The 12K can transmit and receive telemetry data via the T-FHSS protocol. Simply install Futaba telemetry sensors (sold separately) to monitor flight data, receive alerts while in flight and more. These sensors allow pilots to keep track of battery voltage, altitude, speed and other key flight functions. In addition to telemetry, the 12K can be used with S.Bus 2 gear to add multiple servos, gyros and more to set-ups with fewer cables. Pilots with non-telemetry set-ups can take advantage of the interference-free S-FHSS protocol. A large, backlit LCD screen, expandable 30-model memory, a 6V 1800mAh NiMH battery and charger are just a few more of the features the 12K has to offer.

I hate to admit it, but I spent more time learning the radio's nuances than I did assembling my Freewing F-22 PNP. LOL! I love all of the features of the 12K, and it works great with all of the mixes I threw at it. I know I will outgrow it in the future, and when I do, I will replace it with another Futaba. It's a solid and reliable brand that has been around for a long time, and it is worth the investment.

It has more channels and switch types and locations ( on the tx) than most people would ever use. The radio link between the tx & rx is bullet-proof! I would absolutely buy it again. Have owned it about 2 years now. The best radio I have ever owned

So I decided to buy a known quality brand like Futaba instead of Frsky or Radiomaster. This radio seemed to have enough functionality for my park flyers. That said, the programming is like learning a foreign language coming from a JR/Spektrum background. It comes with a nickle metal hydride battery which I will replace with a life battery.
