[RCSE] Spread Spectrum

[Darwin N. Barrie]

I believe this will be the norm in the next few years. It will take a while for everyone to make the transition. I'm still concerned about the range, so I'll wait for some of you to put a $1500 moldy a half a mile down range and see if it still works. Is it the spread spectrum that makes it so exciting? I don't get it!!!   Futaba has some big stuff coming as well. The information is being held very tightly, so I suspect it will be good.   I'm also confused as to the excitement level on this radio that has limited sailplane capability (actually none), when the Futaba 12MZ will do virtually anything a sailplane pilot will need. The 14MZ definitely will. Yeah they are more expensive but you won't need to upgrade every couple of years. Also these systems are extremely easy to program. I have no specific knowledge but think Spread Spectrum will be coming to these systems before long. Now that is something to get excited about!!!!   Darwin N. Barrie Chandler AZ
