I have never shot down another pilot, but have seen it happen. Nobody
goes home feeling good about the hobby when that happens. Please be
careful with your synth transmitters folks, with power comes
responsibilities.
Other than Multiplex, who have had scanning addons for the Profi's for
years now (they won't transmit unless the channel is quiet), the other
manufacturers do have some catching up to do.
I plan to purchase one of JR's synth modules for my 9303 when they're
available, and realize that I'll have to be careful in it's use if I
ever need to change channels. Mainly it will remain on ch.58 90% of the
time. I'm lucky enough to share that channel with only one other flyer
in my club who shows up maybe 6 times a year. On the days that he comes
out (or at funflys), I'll change channels but realize that I must be
mindful of what I'm doing.

BUT, I'm envious. Sounds like the radio everyone needs. How long before
the other manufacturers catch up?

As was the case in the incident I outlined. It was NOT a synthesized
module. It was a regular old module. He changed channels and "forgot" he
had done it.
What I like about my synthesized radio (14MZ) is that it does not
transmit until I tell it to. Gives me a chance to look at the channel
and confirm it before it starts transmitting. Not the case with the guy
with the wrong hardwired module in his radio.
