R3008SB RECEIVER
Just as transmitters have come a long way, receivers have also kept pace. The versatile R3008SB is much more than a simple 8-channel receiver. In case you are wondering why only an 8-channel receiver is included, the answer is that it can be used for up to 10 channels when using the S.Bus system. Additionally, two R3008SB receivers can be linked to the transmitter, with a total of 10 channels or for redundancy. Many pilots of giantscale planes prefer the safety factor provided with a dual-receiver setup, and this R3008SB makes it easy.
To use the R3008SB as a conventional 7-channel receiver, just plug in the servo leads as usual and link it to the transmitter. When channel 8 is needed or the S.Bus system is used, the receiver’s output-channel mode must be changed via the Mode switch. At first glance, the Mode switch may be mistaken for the Link button, but the linking process doesn’t require pressing any buttons. There are four modes: A through D, and the manual explains how to change them. The default mode for the outputs is channels 1–7 and channel 8 being the S.Bus port. The channel assignment can also be changed so that channels 1 and 2 are assigned to channels 9 and 10. This would be used when using two R3008SB receivers together, for a total of 10 channels. The optional telemetry sensors can be plugged into an S.Bus hub and then into the S.Bus port. There is an additional connector for use of the external-voltage telemetry device.
