BREAKING NEWS! RCU EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK
JR 2.4GHz Programmable Systems
JR® is pleased to announce two new pro-class, programmable aircraft systems—the
9-channel X9303 2.4 which is coming this summer, followed by the 12-channel 12X this fall. Both will feature all the software sophistication JR is known for, PLUS the no-pins, no-crystals, no-glitches convenience and security of proven DSM2™ 2.4GHz technology by Spektrum™.
DSM2: 2.4GHz RC Technology with a Flawless Record
Unlike ordinary spread spectrum ICs, the unique chip that’s the basis for Spektrum’s 2.4GHz technology was developed specifically for RC by an avid aircraft modeler who wanted to create a robust, ultra-reliable RF link that would be immune to glitches and interference. This chip combined with Spektrum’s patent-pending DSM/DSM2 protocols, and the built-in redundancy of its DuaLink™ technology, have been the biggest revolution in RC flying since the advent of digital proportional control. It’s proven 2.4GHz technology that JR is proud to adopt––technology that’s been used with unprecedented success by thousands of RC car and airplane modelers since 2005.
Complete Integration Means Faster Response and Added Precision
Because DSM2™ technology has essentially been “built-in” to these new JR systems there is no processing time lag as there would be with a module based system. In fact, you will experience response times that are faster than any PCM system in existence. You will also enjoy two other exclusive DSM2 features you will wonder how you ever lived without—ModelMatch™ and ServoSync™.
ModelMatch puts an end to “wrong model” mishaps by preventing the receiver from responding until you select the memory settings matched to the model you’re going to fly. ServoSync automatically resequences transmitted data bits so that mixed servos receive their pulses in direct sequence. No longer will you have to endure split second differences in CCPM or dual elevator servo movement. All servos will move as if on the same channel so you can fly with absolute precision.
Complete Compatibility with Spektrum Brand DSM Receivers
If you already own a Spektrum brand radio system you will be pleased to know that both of these new systems will work with any DSM receivers you already have, including the AR6000, AR6100, AR7000 and AR9000. So, when the time comes to move up to more channels you’ll be set.
X9303 2.4 9-Channel DSM2 Aircraft System—Available Summer ‘07
As the foundation for an advanced, full-range, spread spectrum radio, it’s hard to imagine a more ideal candidate than JR’s XP9303.
A breakthrough in versatility and flexibility when it was introduced, the 9-channel, 30-model memory, 3-model type 9303 is an enormously popular radio upgrade for flyers whose skills have outgrown sport-class equipment. With software shaped by the input of top airplane, sailplane and heli pilots, plus its exclusive rolling ease and speed of programming, the 9303 remains the standard by which all 9-channel radios are judged.
And now, with the added convenience and security of Spektrum DSM2 2.4GHz technology, the newly-designated X9303 2.4 is destined to be a breakthrough once more.
Spektrum engineers have even incorporated technology that permits owners of conventional XP9303 radios to transfer all of their model programming data from their transmitters directly to their new X9303 2.4 transmitters.
JRP2910 X9303 2.4 Airplane/Sailplane DSM2 System Street Price: $729.99
JRP2920 X9303 2.4 Heli DSM2 System Street Price: $729.99
12X 12-Channel DSM2 Aircraft System—Available Fall ‘07
Big-scale and jet modelers as well as anyone else flying complex applications will love the new JR 12X.
The pro-class 12X will combine airplane and heli programming in a single transmitter. All programming functions will be easily adjusted using JR’s exceptionally intuitive Rolling Selector input system. Plus, its big, high-resolution dot matrix display will allow you to see the adjustments you make with absolute clarity.
