Status: offline 		Now that you mention it Minn, I would. The only reason keeping me away from making this my next radio is the fact that I'm stuck for life with the 2.4 bulky module with the antenna coming from the back given that I wont use 72mhz because I currently own only one 72mhz receiver which I rather upgrade to 2,4 instead of getting the 72mhz module and antenna. Is it very bulky with the 2.4 module? Please convince me of getting one of these 10C!

PS: Did you get yours from Tower?

I got mine for a review for RCU Magazine, so yes, basically you could say it came from Tower.

Status: offline 		I got mine last Wednesday, was able to get my 9C Campac down loaded okay. Still reading up on the manual and going through and trying to understand the settings & programs in the Tx. Over all its set up programing wise like the 9C & 9C Super.Just trying to get things figured out. Bax here on RCU is very helpful, And if Minnflyer is doing something for RCU then Im sure he will be alot of help. Right Minnflyer?!

I don't think there's any difference between the version in the States and a Euro version. The manual even states that you should use one setting for US and most Euro countries, but a special "France" setting if you fly in France. So I would assume this same radio is used all over.

I am not familiar with the 12C so I really can't compare.

That would be loads of help. I want to LOVE a radio which will cost me $600 and which will probably be my radio for years to come so I want reinforcement towards this choice vs. JR X9303 because in the end I'm just a Futaba kinda guy and want to overcome the bulky 2.4ghz trauma.

I see the old antenna still in the radio. Can it be switched back to 72 Mhz?? Or is that module missing??

Status: offline 		The 10C is backwards compatible with 72mhz modules. I think this answers the question although I have my doubts since I'm giving new information to RCKen which seems like a highly unlikely task to achieve so I figure I must have misunderstood Ken's doubt
