<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Unlike
Futaba, (9C) there is no conformal coating on any of the PWBs. I would
be concerned about powering up the Tx in cold conditions after leaving a warm
vehicle. Also, again unlike Futaba (9C), there was not a sign of lube on any
of the Gimbals. The wire runs are a little awkward with wires from two
switches at the top of the radio being pinched by the bosses for the screws
that hold the case together.</span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>It
looks like these are put together pretty quickly with not much
time for extras like lubrication/protection for the gimbals. I know that
most short term consumer electronics are not CC'd but I would not have
expected that of a $700 product.<br>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>I don't want to start a JR vs Futaba war but I've
been looking for a 2.4GHz, 2048 radio system and find the 9309 priced way
below the closest Futaba radio offering those features, the 12FG. Now I agree
that the Futaba is a 12 channel compared to 9 channels of the X9309 but is
that worth $600?</span></font></p>
