[NSRCA-discussion] 12Z vs 12FG

[Robert L. Beaubien]

I have the 12Z.  Here are the major differences between them.

 

12Z has a metal case, the 12FG has a plastic case.

12Z uses a standard formatted CF (CardFlash) memory card, the 12Fg uses
a specially formatted SD card (unreadable on a pc without special (free)
software from Futaba.

12Z has 4 trim switches, 12FG has 6 trim switches (same as the 14MZ)

 

They are almost identical when it comes to programmability.  Basically
comes down to if you want a metal case, get the 12Z, otherwise, get the
12FG.  Virtually the same radio for a lot less.

Thinking of buying a better radio. (Please, no JR remarks here). Have
been a Futaba guy for many years, have lots of FASST stuff already. I'm
interested in either the 12Z or the 12FG. What are the differences, why
would you buy one over the other, etc. Will be using for pattern and for
IMAC.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bob R.
