Has anyone got any feedback, on the Airtronics FHSS technology ?
How does it compare to the Fuataba FASST and the JR-Spektrum DSM2 ?

One thing you have to be careful with on ground range checks is the 
ground. Having the antenna just about on the ground really reduces 
range.  You get a a lot more repeatable test if the models is a foot or 
so off the ground.   72 is similar,  But 72 and 2.4 are quite a bit 
different in wave length, look at the antenna length, so things behave 
differently sitting right on the ground.

Ed - I think you'll need to set up an account and sign in to see the
stuff he's refering to.

You can also find the info on Futaba's sight. I had to actually read
the instructions and try again, but it was pretty straight forward when
I actually followed the directions. It only hurt for a little while.  :o

I went there and did not find anything.  Perhaps you can copy the post

2008-01-08 Thread Robglover

I've been flying a 9303 2.4 in my hand launch for a while now. It's
great. I can sneak down to the local vacant lot and fly every evening
that the weather allows. The programming is adequate for my needs. The
transmitter is light and durable which is a plus for hand launch. So
far the link has been solid, but I haven't been flying at a crowded
field. I may even have to get a foamy electric or helicopter or
something so I can use it more. This radio will do everything that any
of my planes need to fly well, and it's a bargain.

I just laid hands on a 2.4 module for my MZ14. I downloaded the new
programming and updated the software in my MZ14 yesterday, that is a
great feature. The receiver (14 channels worth) has been installed into
my 3 meter Rogue. I have a few spare channels :-). Looks good on the
bench, maybe this weekend I'll have a chance to try it out. Now my
Footabubba radio will transmit on any frequency or band legal for me.
That's cool. The programming recognizes the module and brings up the
appropriate menus for the band. Way cool. Shift selectable as well, so
most of my old receivers will still work with it.

Comparing a P4000 to the MZ14 is pointless, the P4000 doesn't come
close IMHO. You want to buy my old P4000?
