[NSRCA-discussion] Digital Pug-In module

[Bill Glaze]

Tony, (Congratulations on your Nats' win; I've got your entire final flight on tape!)  Dave, (I've got one of yours on tape, as well, great FAI work) Vince, Dave, Jon,  All you folks who replied, Thanks.  This is one of the reasons I love this list: so much experience, expertise, and above all, the willingness to share with others.
I'm going to take the plunge; I knew it (2.4) was coming sooner or later.  I believe I'll start with the converter/module system, (inasmuch as I already have a suitable transmitter) and probably go to the pure 2.4 system sometime next year, before the season starts.
Again, Gentlemen, Thanks to all of you.  It is highly appreciated.

  I flew the 2.4 module a lot in a 9303 before the pure 2.4 systems came out. No problems, however you do not have some of the nice features that come with the pure 2.4 systems. Such as Modelmatch does not work with the module systems. And the pure 2.4 systems are faster. But reliability is not a concern.

    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.
