Move over Futaba 9C, Hello JR PCM 9X!
If you head over to Tower, fwiw the "official" Futaba outlet (GP), the 9C is not offered in transmitter alone versions. Same with JR/Horizon - still, other sellers do seem to offer the 9C in Xmit only packages (and all of Hitec, Airtronics), but not JR's ... strange.
