The earlier short-antenna version of this receiver was *horrible*. Terrible range, glitchy, etc. Karlton called it the "splat-master" - the title was well-deserved.
JR has had a quiet recall out on these. They replace the antenna with a standard-length one and retune them - after which they work just as well as any other JR ABC+W receiver. *** Determine which version you have before you fly it! *** The new versions have a small, round, blue QC sticker on the bottom of the case and a standard-length antenna (39" IIRC). The older versions have shortened antennas (somewhere around 18"-24") and a small round RED QC sticker on the case bottom. FYI - I have reworked 610M receivers in my Mini-Ellipse sloper and Wizard-E HLG. No problems with either one. -==- Barrett -----Original Message----- From: Alan J.
