Radio wanted

[bren.p]

I am requiring a 2.4ghz tx system preferably with the rx aswell and minium of 6 channels.

Hi Brendan,

What is your budget?  

If you are not in a hurry right now, you can wait for the T9x, that should be available by the end of the week (well, at the soonest!)!
Like the Hxt9x, but comes with DSM2 module (Spektrum) and is ready to be flashed to Open9x and the like (so that gives you maybe what is one of the best radio around for a low price).

You also have the new FrSky 12D... That should be available really soon (compatible with FAAST, Futaba).

But that's budget stuff (Can't wait to see the Frsky one.. Apparently comes in 6, 8 and 12chanels, and 16ch as it seems that you will be able to link 2x 8ch receivers!).

Second option, might be to buy a second hand good radio, and then convert to 2.4ghz (lots of choice for conversion, Assan, Frsky, Turnigy, Jeti, Multiplex etc etc)

Hey Bren, our good friend Fred works in the world of computers. You can kinda tell can’t you, with his statements like;

 “like the Hxt9x, but comes with DSM2 module (Spektrum) and is ready to be flashed to Open9x and the like” :?

I'm certain he knows exactly what he's talking about. I haven’t got a clue, but then I’m only an Englishman! :roll:

yes Keith Hxt9x I take it is a tx model dsm2 I aint up on to well as for open9x is a software download that utilises the ability of the tx that would bew my take on it.

Too answer your questions Fred My budget would be around 200  no real hurry at the moment just want a radio that I dont have to upgrade in a few months would make more sense to me to grow into it than out of it :wink:

:lol: Yeah, sorry, wrote that in a hurry between 2 meetings  :oops:
That remind me, when I was working in IBM, we even had an acronym dictionary! Took me a year to understand a normal conversation!  :lol:

Talking about the FRsky radio, first photos are already published.
The 9ch :



And the 12D :



Ok, I know, it's not helping at all!

Forgot to mention, you also have the MACI website, sometimes some good radios at good price in the buy/sell section, worth to keep a look at.

Thanks for the images Fred I have been keeping an eye on the maci site nothing yet only crystal sets at the moment.

Something is sure to turn up either new or secound hand.

Remember to consider a modifications.
A 35Mhz set can be changed to 2.4Ghz in a flash
