RE: [RCSE] JR 770 RX's?????
Hey Todd, the 770 RX is just fine, I am flying 5 of them. Do not let one guy with an issue make you change. Do your range check and it is good, you are fine.

[RCSE] Re: Is there something else comparable to the Litco Alpha 4
Sommer chargers will run rings around Litco. Charges 5 batteries at a time, any types and does all the other stuff like cycle, charge/discharge, etc. You plug in one battery, tell the charger the battery type and what you want to do with it e.g. charge, discharge, cycle, etc., plug into the next battery to the next port, repeat the process, etc. It remembers the type of battery each port did last so you don't have to tell it the battery type if you constantly plug say a nicad into port 1 all the time. In truth, it doesn't charge them all simultaneously (though you can set it to do that), its real strength is it does up to 5 packs one after the other without any intervention. The only downside, you have to order from Germany but I've done so and it's no big deal. Not the cheapest chargers but if you have a lot of packs of various types, it's a great piece of hardware. You can order the charger to run on 110, 220 and 12 volts (has all the converter circuits built in). http://www.sommer-electronic.de/shop/start.html Good luck, Steve -- SteveR SteveR's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=7591 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=534739 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] JR 770 RX's?????
Todd, You needn't worry about the R770. It is a very, very good receiver, tried and trusted for many years by many avid model sailplane pilots. I probably have over 20 of the things and have used them in slopers, molded TD ships, woodies, pylon racers, park flyers - you name it. I've never had a failure with it or any other JR PCM RX for that matter. It has proven every bit as reliable as the old R649 for me. Like many, I am now switching to the R790 on my TD stuff for convenience reasons. But that's only to cope with frequency congestion at contests. I will continue to use the 770s in other planes, though. You can't go wrong either way. --Jim On Jun 27, 2006, at 8:43 AM, Todd Larsen wrote: Hi All, Please, can anyone shead some light on the "flaws of the 770"s by JR?

RE: [RCSE] JR 770 RX's?????
Todd, Why do feel the 770 is flawed? The 790 and 720 ScanSelect receivers are just the natural progression of the JR receiver line. These receivers eliminate the need for crystals which can be easily damaged if miss-handled or dropped.
