R146IP Receiver from Futaba for Smooth, Low-Noise Control

The Futaba R146IP is a compact 6-channel PCM receiver designed for hobbyists who need accurate control and dependable reception. It integrates with the Futaba 6EXA Super and other PCM transmitters to support a range of aircraft and surface models.

Reduced Interference with Single Conversion Filtering

Narrow band spacing and single conversion filtering on the R146IP deliver improved signal clarity and consistent control feel. This helps maintain precise inputs during high-demand flying or tight racing where signal stability is critical. It covers channel groups 11 through 60.

Minimal Weight, Practical Range

Despite its small size of 28.7mm and light weight of 16.5 grams, the receiver can achieve up to 300 meters of range depending on terrain and interference. It operates on a 4.8V to 6V supply for typical RC power systems.

  • Channels: 6
  • Frequency Bands: Low (11-35), High (36-60)
  • Receiving Range: Up to 300 meters
  • Power Requirement: 4.8V-6V
  • Weight: 16.5 grams
  • Dimensions: 28.7mm x 42.7mm x 20mm

The Futaba R146IP suits modelers after a lightweight receiver that delivers crisp response and flexible band selection for varied flying conditions.

Can I install the receiver in a small foamie?

Yes. Its compact dimensions and low mass make the R146IP well suited for small foam models, as long as antenna placement and power supply are planned correctly.

Does the receiver need a crystal?

This model is listed as single conversion without crystal in the product name. Use compatible Futaba short type crystals if required by your installation, and follow Futaba guidance for frequency selection.

How tolerant is it to nearby electronics?

The R146IP's filtering improves immunity to nearby noise, but you should still separate the receiver from high-current wires, ESCs, and motors where possible to minimise local interference.

What maintenance is recommended?

Periodically check antenna condition and mountings, ensure connectors are secure, and verify binding status before flying to maintain reliable operation.

Is it suitable for both air and surface models?

Yes. The receiver's channel count and power requirements make it versatile for both aircraft and surface applications, provided your transmitter supports PCM.
