[NSRCA-discussion] Digital Pug-In module

[Jon Lowe]

Total hog wash.  I've been using the Spektrum modules since the day 
they came out in two 10x's, as has my Dad.  Work great.  All you do is 
put in the module, change from PCM to PPM in the modulation setting for 
each airplane, bind with your receiver, and go fly.  The circuitry in 
the modules is identical to what is in the "dedicated" transmitters.  
The only thing you won't get is 2048 resolution because the transmitter 
can't do it.  All of the Spektrum receivers work just fine with the 
modules.  I've also got a Spektrum module in my old Futaba 9VAC, and it 
works just fine.  He's just trying to sell you a new transmitter.

Horizon recently reduced the price of the module/receiver combos.   You 
can get a module with a 7 channel receiver for $110.

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.
