Ok I understand, so you have not checked the weight (or the autodetect feature) yourself - then I understand. I can tell you the actual weight of the units are what I said in my last post = 13.5 g. If your data is quoted from Great Planes website (the Futaba north america distributor) - then they have written the wrong info. We are the Scandinavian Futaba distriubutor and I messured them myself and my info is 100% correct as I put them on my scale today.
I can also assure you that ALL R603FF, first generation R603FS (without external antenna & blue decal), R603FS with internal and external antenna (as they are now) with blue or orange decal all are autodetect PPM/HRS. Do note, it cant be autodetect PCM as FASST does not work on PCM. If you have any other info then thats simply not the correct info.

There you see that Great Planes says that the R603FF receiver weights about 13 g. But do note - that is not the R603FS receiver, the R603FF has no internal antenna = no dual diversity = thats why its lighter then R603FS.
This is Futaba's own website (as in Futaba Japan):
