Mike,
Even thought there are issues with the proper use of synthesized
modules, it is coming and I am waiting for the JR unit as soon as it on the
market. I am sure that there were guys who thought changing crystals around
was an issue too, but that is norm and so will synthesized in a few years.
I realize that you have to be smarter than the technology you use, and some
folks do not qualify.

Interesting side note, major RC company got a very sophisticated frequency
analyzer and took it to a major big plane rally. The thing that scared them
was the number of guys who did not have a clue what frequency they were
actually on. Again, smarter than the technology you use...

Remember that discussion we had back in early April about the pitfalls of
synthesized radios? I wrote this in part:

That prompted an immediate private mail from Gordy titled, "The sky ain't".
Here's an excerpt:

That email ultimately resulted in me kill-filing Gordy, but I can't help
wondering what he thinks about those synthesizer modules now. He'll probably
forget all about that and sing the praises of the frequency checker instead.
