The Hitec Spectra has probably had the longest run/best chance for positive evolution. Now JR, Fut Mpx have similar units, but relatively little consumer field experience. Huh? Futaba came out with a synthesized module for the 9Z series of radios long before Hitec had the Spectra

No disrespect to the futaba module, but the hitec spectra module existed long before the 9Z radio hit the market. I used the hitec module on my futaba 8uaf over 10 years ago and on my hitec radio almost 20 years ago. I think futaba is relatively new player in the freq. module game by

I just exchanged emails with Steve Helms who is the head Futaba guy (Futaba Corporation, not Hobbico) in the US and who has been in the RC industry wince WAY back (all the way to Pro-Line back in the 70's). He reminded me that in fact it was KRAFT who had the first synthesized module back in

Where is my brain? That will teach me to start typing before I wake up For some reason I was thinking about the recent 9c radios (I own 2) instead of the Z. I had the first hitec radio with the spectra module and specifically looked for synthesized modules (early 90's?) when I bought my first

Any RF savants out there that can explain in scientific terms why a synthesized TX RF deck is either a good or bad idea? I'm not talking about the Frankenstein solutions - i.e. Brand X module jammed into Brand Y TX - but an approved synthesized module from the TX mfr. Tom RCSE-List
