JR X-2610 radio system
Danny, I am in the process of purchasing a JR X-2610 radio system. I have tried to obtain information about this type of radio, without any success. Can you please assist me with this problem, and tell me what you think about this system. I am living in South Africa.

RE: JR X-2610 radio system
In the absence of the Guru, I'll answer this one.
The 2610 is the equivalent of the 6102 with a few minor differences. It is a "Entry Level" system which has a good track recors. There are a few things lacking such as a countdown timer but thats a minor peeve.
The specs for the 2610 can be found here... http://www.macgregor.co.uk/radio/2610.htm For an addendum sheet showing the differences between the 2610 and the 6102 look here.... http://www.macgregor.co.uk/faq/Transmitters/X2610.pdf
Hope that helps, if there is anything specific, just ask and I'll see what I can do to answer the query.

Hi Tony,
No mention is made as far as transmitter power, deviation and bandwidth; surely this can not be the same as the American version?

RE: JR X-2610 radio system
Hi zs4lr,
Normally this info is not needed by the typical flier, all they want to know is what functions / mixes / goodies the shiny plastic box has got..
This Technical Info is standard throughout the UK for any Tx unit.....
Tx Output 100mW Max ERP
B/W 10 KHz,
JR uses +/- 1.8KHz Deviation, no doubt the other manufacturers are similar.
Does that help ??

RE: JR X-2610 radio system
Thanks for the info Tony but what worries me is that for 35MHz no specifications have been put down on paper by JR. I have done extensive tests on JR equipment and have found the following:
The deviation is about 3.5 KHz positive (+3.5 KHz) and the bandwidth is about 8 KHz (severe clipping accrues above a deviation of 4 KHz). Apparently Futaba, Hitec and Tower Hobbies uses negative shift. Airtronics and JR uses positive shift, nobody uses +- deviation. The transmitter puts out between 300 and 400mW into a 50 Ohm load but considering that the antenna is less than a ΒΌ wave and hand held, it probably radiates about 100mW.

To zs4lr
I see that you also live in South Africa. Maybe you can help me. Have you bought a JR X-2610 radio system recently, and if so, what do you think about it.
Thank you

No, I have a much older JR computer radio, but it is very popular at my club and every one is happy with it. Pity that it does not have a timer thou.
