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 comparison. I am sure they are fine though, this is all very old technology, our cell phones have been far more advanced during the same time period, but there is a much larger consumer body driving their development. The new spread spectrum stuff will force the companies to get competetive on a new level in order to stay in biz. and not become dinosaurs (like our current radios were the day they were built). I hope they can eventually do the spread spectrum on lower freqs. like , maybe 72mhz. hmmmm, we already use that freq,,,,,,,,,,,,, Mark Mech www.aerofoam.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
