I think you are correct about the 9303, but you give too much credit to JR. The credit goes to Horizon Hobbies. Graupner made the MX22 a 10-12CH pretty dam flexible version of the 9303, JR then release the 9x to the rest of the world and the programming was very disappointing and inadequate. I guess Horizon saw this and refused to take the 9x from Japan and developed their own software for the radio. All 3 radios look the same except the writing. Horizon is the one that offers the quality backup and service, not JR. JR Japan it self is pretty bloody poor. Regards Aneil.

Well I have seen this radio, and if you relish software to meet your specific sailplane needs, then the 9303 is the one. I would hazard to say without equivocation that this is the best thing to address sailplane specific programming tasks since the well respected Airtronics Vision et al. The Airtronics age is past, regardless of the fondness of them here. (opinion showing) The 9303, aside from ease of programming, has the most dedicated and sophisticated glider presets of any radio on the market. JR seems to be the company that really has their ear to the ground these days with not only product, but on site customer support and back up. If software and the other ancillary benefits don't mean much to you, then stick with what you find comfortable. If you really want to know about this thing, go to your dealer and play with one yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised. A very biased but honest endorsement based on my personal experience.

I'm puzzled. The often seen excitement over new radios seems surprising. How many radios do you guys own? Once I moved up to a radio that met my needs I've not seen any reason to get excited over the new radio offerings. What I'm waiting to hear about is a newly designed radio that is significantly BETTER at doing the things my radio ALREADY does. Otherwise what's the motivation? Most 8 or more channel radios will do what most guys need. JR/FUTABA/PROFI/AIRTRONICS/whatever... they're all capable. Why the excitement?
