Default RE: Futaba T6XH Discontinued?

As Bax said, the 6X lineage goes back a long ways. It's been a 2nd class radio (feature-wise) since the RD6000 came out back in 2000 or so. For what it is, it's a fine radio. The Futaba name is the only thing that's been selling it the past few years, as it really can't compare the other offerings in it's class. It's been due for replacement for a long time, and I think it's great that Futaba is competing with Hitec in putting a 7-channel in that price range. It's too bad JR didn't design the 738 for that market. One way or another, that's where the 738 will end up competing.
