I sent an e-mail to Tony Stillman and am awaiting his response.

BTW, I thought the following might be of interest to some followers  
of the List.  A friend of mine is an electrical engineer and he likes  
to do electronic modifications to his radio equipment.  He bought one  
of the Specktrum systems and took the back off the transmitter.   
Based on what he saw, he ordered a JR 6102 transmitter and installed  
the Specktrum RF module in it.  Here's the interesting fact:  He says  
that the RF module appears to have been designed for the JR 6102,  
because the predrilled holes in the board match up to the back of the  
6102 and all he had to do was screw the board down and solder three  
wires.  He's now using the modified 6102 transmitter with the  
Spectrum receiver.  For those who might scream that this modification  
invalidates the FCC type certification of the system, he responds  
that the FCC regulations say that he can do what he's done if he gets  
the modified transmitter tested at a certified testing station.   
There is such a station in Georgia and he plans to have his  
transmitter tested there next week, on this way to the Southeastern  
Model Show in Perry, GA.  Once he does this, other qualified  
individuals can legally perform the same modification.  Interesting.
