Ed,
Its certainly true for XPS and Spectrum, and its the Spectrum I am
recommending, because the deal is so good.
What happens is that even though the 2.4GHZ transmits at greater power
than 72MHZ, they transmit in packets and between packets the transmitter
isn't sending any signal. The net effect is that the total power drain
goes down. I use both XPS and Spectrum and I can see it directly on how
long my transmitter batteries last.

All that I have read is that the synth modules use more power than the
single channel modules. Perhaps the Futaba Synth is different. Any way,
for the cost of one 2.4 GHz receiver, I can keep all my 72 MHz stuff flying
on their current channel. That is worth it for now.
Best regards,
Ed Anderson

Ed,
I forgot to mention that the transmitter will use LES power with the
synth module and you won't see any difference with your receiver. Its
the servos that drain the receiver battery.
