[NSRCA-discussion] Digital Pug-In module

[Jay Marshall]

The technology is different. Futaba is pure spread spectrum and Spektrum is
dual frequency diversity. Probably isn't any difference to the non-engineer
and both work very well. A slight advantage to the Spektrum is the number of
Bind-And-Fly models that Horizon is putting out.

I have a Futaba 9C currently on 72 MHZ. I see that both Futaba and Spektrum
have conversion packages for 2.4 access. Any comments on either or both?
(Spektrum is offering a good price right now!) Thanx-- Larry
