Re: Goodbye DSM? .... I use a tried and true method of equipment selection. Only one question needs to be asked: Which one can I get at a better price? Really don't care about the Chevy vs Ford junk. Started with JR cause that's what the local hobby shop sold. Have stuck with it through 72 and now 2.4 with no problems. Looking at the new Spektrum Radios with some telelmetry features I may want down the road............ at a much better price............. probably go that route eventually, but not in any rush. My 9303 is a couple years old now and I hope to get decade of use out of it. ........anyone wishing to fall prey to marketing and panic and want to dump their DSM2 receivers for dirt cheap, drop me a line.

 Futaba guys make fun of them all the time but, brand F's 2 little antenna's can be blocked by engine/ heat / fuel/ etc. The satellites can be positioned so that at least one is always available.Mike |

Re: Goodbye DSM? What's this I hear about a couple of spectacular crashes at Joe Nall this year and they were attributed to radio failures for..... ...Futaba FAAST??? Apparently the 2.4 spectrum was overloaded? It was rumored the event will have to go back to radio impound to prevent this happening again(?) Anybody have the scoop on this? |

Re: Goodbye DSM? I guess I can't understand why a person would buy a system that is still having problems , goes not have the versatility , the obsolete spread specktrum design that even the parent company is changing ; just makes me shake my head. Do they still use those funky little wires to do the binding ? Yes, it was first on the market but is not in the lead as far as a sucessful design. Oh well, to each his own. |

Others see it as a terrific marketing ploy...sort of when your in the lead how do you stay there... With the release of the new DX7s at a lower price with less features..I needed something to be a "dealmaker" ...the free Rx did it for me. Looking forward to the DX8 with backlit screen, and all the other features that were left out of the DX7s. Bill |

Re: Goodbye DSM? HH has a limited time offer to it's dealers...2 for 1 AR8000 Rx's when you buy the DX8. In other words..a free $129.00 Rx with the purchase of the DX8 system. My LHS has a few sets coming end of May... Bill |
