Kevin Fairgrieve Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I have a hankering for a complete retro set up, to include 35MHz radio gear. I acquired a Sanwa RD6000 Super with Rx from ebay for £10.00 posted to my door. My first computer radio was an RD6000 Super, indeed I converted three of them to 2.4. Now when I flew 35MHz back in the day my CH was 82. To make the nostalgia complete I would like to use 82 for this set up. So does any one have a set of Sanwa 82 Xtals going for a song? Thanks in advance . Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Hi Kevin, I still have an RD6000 Sport and an RD6000 Super, plus loads of RXs - but all on Channel 88. Great transmitters. However I picked up that you have converted three of these to 2.Ghz (presumably successfully) and I would be grateful to learn how you did this. I would love to convert mine to Spektrum 2.4 if possible, so any advice would be gratefully received.

Stuphedd Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Converting RD6000 to Spectrum could be difficult??? But I have converted many to Corona and a few to Frsky using the DIY kits from Hobby king , all work well !! I think there are some good utube vids showing the conversion and some photos on this site somewhere !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look here for some info. Lemon Conversion. A link to my one of my conversions. Conversion to FrSky Still looking for the Xtals though. I guess I will have to use the supplied CH70 Kev Edited August 9, 2021 by Kevin Fairgrieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Thompson 10 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hi Kevin, I know this is an old post, but I have been given some Futaba stuff for spares and in the same bag is a Sanwa Conquest Mk 2 FM and the matching 35 meg FM RX - both have (Tx and Rx) Ch 82 crystals installed. Do you want them? I’m not sure if the crystals are the ones you require.(Tx and Rx look okay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
