Default No 50MHz support from Hitec

Mike, perhaps you should print off this thread and present it at your Sept. meeting.

As the 72MHz band keeps filling up, the 50MHz band may see more growth.

Myself, I'm just getting into the hobby. I'm already a ham and I have a Hitec Focus 4 (came with a set). Now I'm looking to get a fancy rig and it seems that Hitec has eliminated itself from my choices; It looks like my dollars will go to fund their competitors' R&D.

One thing that I would really like to see is a 50MHz feather receiver or equivalent micro receiver (which would fit on a Hornet), perhaps even more channels (preferably 6 for CCPM + gyro gain).

Also, one question for the vets here. Do JR and Futaba play together? i.e. can I use a tx from one and rx from another (same offset, etc?)

Tnx, 73
