[RCSE] Evo vs 9303

2005-04-14 Thread Lydon, Matthew (NBC Universal)








I'm seriously considering either an Evo or a 9303 -
opinions?



I like the idea of the variable 'digi' mixers on
the evo, and also like the idea of any function to any channel. The synth/scanner
function would be awesome, as would the battery management features.

On the down side, I have a feeling that the programming it
is a royal pain - pun intended. Mixers being global sounds like a bummer,
too.



The 9303 seems to have terrific programming, but lacks all
these other things.

Given that the 9's cost about the same - which is
ultimately BETTER

Not sure which is better, but the EVO is truly pretty easy, 
very logical to program. I am much more comfortable with it that I ever 
was with any JR/Asian radio programming.

I've also been looking at getting an evo. I'm not sure that the 
Global mixer's are as big an issue as the JR FUD department (Fear 
Uncertainty Doubt - a technique perfected to an artform by microsoft) 
seem keen to portray. As I understand it the global mixers are 
frameworks for establishing how inputs and outputs are mixed with 
each other  - so things like v-tail, crow, camber control would be 
set up as a global mixers. The actual percentages and values assigned 
to each component of the mix are specific to each model.

The Royal Evo tutorial explains the global mixers in detail and is 
definitely worth reading if your thinking about the EVO.

I have never had a JR transmitter that required programming because I gave 
up on them long before computer radios.  I have owned Infinity, Futaba, and 
Hitec and never really understood the logic behind their programming.  I 
currently fly Evo and find it much easier to program than the asian radios 
because I understand the logic behind Evo programming.  I was never able to 
program any of the asian radios without a manual in front of me.  With the 
Evo, I only need the manual to refresh my memory when trying something 
new.  Another advantage of the Evo is the superior feel and balance.  Only 
the Infinity approached the Evo feel and balance.
