I'm not sure what input Fred has in this matter. He is not manufacturing
the rec's, I think they are being fabricated elsewhere. Retooling may not
really be an option for this design at this point.
Hopefully, he is looking at maybe an 8 or nine channel rec for the future
using similar technology and maybe our input could be used in the design f
the next generation.
I noticed 'end' plugs a several years back when I bought my 'new' radio
(JR-642). I had seen Futaba and others with their top plugs, but I
typically like small models, and the JR R-600 rec looked real nice and
small. That was more influence on my purchase then any other. I felt
that any major brand radio would be functional, reliable and fairly easy
to use. But the smaller rec would fit my models better. Thus I am a JR
shop.
I hope that Fred will ultimately accept the input from users (both
current and potential) when working on future projects.
