Does anyone know where you can buy just the Futaba 3pk transmitter. I don't want the receiver etc, just the transmitter. Thanks.

The only way I see to buy a 3PK without any rx is to buy the 3PK with the synth module - all the others appear to come with either a 1024PCM or HRS rx.

Only other place I've seen them is Ebay and I wouldn't want to buy this ebay from Hong Kong.

What's the prob with an rx? They sell pretty well on ebay - I've bought 6, a mix of new an used. Yeah, its a hassle, but it'd get you 50-65 bucks back off the purchase price and one with an rx is 60 cheaper than synth equipped 3PK to start with.

Was just on Ebay - there are a few new or near new 3PKs that are in the US might want to give them a look.

No I'm going to get the new DSM module and I don't need the Rx or anything else just the transmitter.

OK, I understand now.

The 3PK is not sold that way. Here's Futaba's page on it and you'll see its not offered for sale without an rx (unless you buy it with synth tx module).

As everyone is stating, you are not currently able to purchase just the Tx.

I saw a 3pk transmitter only on ebay. I dont't know the rules of posting auctions here (and it's not my auction & I don't know the seller etc.) but it is item #5954788168 The auction is still active, if you do a search you can find it easily enough. Good luck.

That auction is over, was watching it out of curiosity. The seller parted it out selling everything separately, the tx module, the rx module and what was left of the tx. I hope the winner really knew what he was getting.

It went for $192.50 (plus $12 shipping) and if you buy the tx module ($50) and a PCM rx ($90) from tower, you've spent $344.50 to get what you could have bought from tower, new, for $319. The seller wins again!
