[NSRCA-discussion] Digital Pug-In module

[Dave]

Bill,

 

"doesn't trust the 2.4 module, because, it's a basically a converter, and
because the entire system wasn't designed to be used at 2.4 Gig to begin
with, he doubts the plug-in module's reliability or safety of flight."

 

Then I guess the shop owner also would not trust any of the RF modules that
plug into the back of a radio?  There are only 3 differences between the
plug-in module and a ground up 2.4 system, none of which relate to his
(bogus) concern -

1.  No model match

2.  No servo sync

3.  You do need to make sure the 2.4 wire connecting the module to the
antenna does not get damaged - not a big deal, just make sure you aware of
it - should not be a problem with good handling of the radio.

 

Regards,

All: 

I bought from a pattern fllyer, a JR 9393 Transmitter and receiver on 72
megs, with a frequency synthesizer,  While I do prefer to fly on 6 meters, I
thought I might use this transmitter with a 6 meter synthesizer.

However, a good friend of mine suggested getting a conversion unit and go
directly to 2.4 Gig.  I know that it's  definitely the coming thing, even
though I've been satisfied with the older system.

However, (and this is where my doubt comes in) I was told by a hobby shop
owner, that he "doesn't trust the 2.4 module, because, it's a basically a
converter, and because the entire system wasn't designed to be used at 2.4
Gig to begin with, he doubts the plug-in module's reliability or safety of
flight."  

Any advice will be appreciated.
