[NSRCA-discussion] Which transmitter?

[Doug Cronkhite]

Not to be the voice of reason, but if the radio you have does what you want and works well, why bother buying something new?

That said, the Airtronics SD-10G does everything you've asked for a little over $400.

They are many transmitters on the market that may work for me but I am having a hard time find which transmitters have the functions I am looking for.  It is not as simple as asking in the local hobby store, they don’t seam to understand how conditions are used for in a fixed wing aircraft and the websites are not to clear and it’s not like I can try them all!
