The Evo is *almost* a great soaring radio but for those dumb shared mixers. Pretty well wrecks it as a serious radio for people (a) have lots of different models and (b) who want to play with the mixers - which is half the point of getting an Evo in the first place. I use mine as a 5-memory radio... Interestingly, the Evo 7 has totally private mixer defs, so it's unlikely to be a software issue, more likely a memory limitation. It may be significant that MPX upped the model memories of the 9 and 12 shortly prior to launch, if this was at the expense of private mixers, then it was a rare slipup by MPX. But the basic architecture is sound. If the Evo had 'privatised' the mixers and proper 3-state logic switches, I'd use in preference to a 4K for F3F. > The new, albiet overpriced Futaba 14 > channel has what looks like the future in hand As for the Futaba 14MZ, I saw a site with some screenshots and a not very in depth review. Positive features: Lithium cells, large display, and CompactFlash memory . But judging by the screenshots, the UI is truly horrible - forget Windows CE, the graphics look like MSDOS and the dialogs poorly designed. IMO the 4000 is still the mixer king, the Evo is still the UI king. Mike RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
