<font size=3>I don't know what you mean by "pure spread
spectrum" -- Futaba uses the frequency-hopping style of spread
spectrum, while JR/Spektrum use the direct-sequencing style. Both
are internationally-recognized types of SS -- there is a third (which I
can't remember at the moment) and several hybrid types. All
must meet global standards for SS transmission.<br><br>

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

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