RE: Spektrum DSM2 2.4Ghz modules for Futaba and JR announced
I just got off the phone with my sales rep and placed my stock order for the store. JR will be out in april And Futaba later in the spring. The back log is going to be big so make the phone call now if you want one. The receivers I'm told will be the hard ones to get. Dennis

RE: Spektrum DSM2 2.4Ghz modules for Futaba and JR announced
whew,
i see that now also.
but i hope that the module will support the full 10 channels, to work with a possible (?) "AR10000" 10 ch. spektrum rx (future?)
i do have 1 plane that uses all 10.[]

Any chance of buying just the module? Or will they only come with the receivers for now?

Any News on the DX9 (or anything like that)? Im about to upgrade my JR 6102 and it seems kinda price to buy the base 9303 and the module system. They modules look great though and will make for a lot of happy pilots.

...and can we assume that these modules are like the DX7 system, in that they will operate the older DX6 series equipment?

RE: Spektrum DSM2 2.4Ghz modules for Futaba and JR announced
Is the user able to link the model setup in the radio (9303 for example) to the receiver like you can with the DX7? With the DX7, the model settings are linked to the receiver so you do not accidently "fly the wrong plane". Are there any limitations or features that can't be integrated into the "module solution" that exists in the "native" DX7 solution?

Do I have that correct?
Why do they state 9ch, yet only use 8ch (9 for Jr, 8 for Futaba)?

About 1/2 way down, in the section on "How Spektrum Air Modules Work"
Does that mean my Futaba 9CAP then becomes an 8 ch radio???

I have the first version of the Futaba 9CAP Tx. Do I order the above quoted items (first is for Tx & Rcv combo, second is for spare rcv'rs)

I have a 9C and I have never used more than 6 channels - it won't effect me that much but I can see it being a problem for others.

RE: Spektrum DSM2 2.4Ghz modules for Futaba and JR announced
I assume that the module comes with an appropriate antenna. There seem to be two choices - ball mount which plugs in after you unscrew the normal antenna, and a mount that goes over the existing antenna when collapsed. Is this correct ?
Thank You
Thank You

RE: Spektrum DSM2 2.4Ghz modules for Futaba and JR announced
Running in PPM mode does remove some features from these radios that are available in PCM mode. Failsafe is one of them.
I think I will stick with 72mhz and enjoy the more open channels with a lot of people switching to 2.4ghz. All in all, good news for everyone that these modules are going to be available.
If and when I do make the switch, it will be to a professional grade 9+ channel 2.4ghz factory radio with functionality similar to a 9Z or better.
