I'll add my experience. I have been up thru the various purpose built JR/Spektrum 2.4gHz systems.<BR>
>From the DX-7 to the X9303 and finally the 12X. I have also used my Futaba 9CAP I bought when I started<BR>
back in RC after my 20+ year layoff. The Spektrum module system in the Futaba has worked without problem.<BR>
I wouldn't hesitate to fly it in any plane I own.<BR>

I've been using the Spektrum modules since the day <BR>> they came out in two 10x's, as has my Dad. Work great. All you do is <BR>> put in the module, change from PCM to PPM in the modulation setting for <BR>> each airplane, bind with your receiver, and go fly. The circuitry in <BR>> the modules is identical to what is in the "dedicated" transmitters. <BR>> The only thing you won't get is 2048 resolution because the transmitter <BR>> can't do it. All of the Spektrum receivers work just fine with the <BR>> modules. I've also got a Spektrum module in my old Futaba 9VAC, and it <BR>> works just fine. He's just trying to sell you a new transmitter.<BR>> <BR>> Horizon recently reduced the price of the module/receiver combos. You <BR>> can get a module with a 7 channel receiver for $110.<BR>> <BR>> Jon Lowe<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: Bill Glaze <billglaze@bellsouth.net><BR>> To: General pattern discussion <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org><BR>> Sent: Tue, Aug 25, 2009 9:31 am<BR>> Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Digital Pug-In module<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> All:<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I bought from a pattern fllyer, a JR 9393<BR>> Transmitter and receiver on 72 megs, with a frequency synthesizer, <BR>> While I<BR>> do prefer to fly on 6 meters, I thought I might use this transmitter <BR>> with a 6<BR>> meter synthesizer.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> However, a good friend of mine suggested getting a<BR>> conversion unit and go directly to 2.4 Gig.
