Status: offline 		Looks like the same radio with a bit more chrome, was hoping for something not as busy as the A9 Tx. I did see some specs that are better though... resolution is better, latency is improved.

When will these be available, presumably works along side A9 and current RX?

Status: offline 		Hi,

I'm able to read the specs in the last post when the picture is enlarged.

It does not say if it is compatible with the A9 receivers, but I'm guessing it is. Is it?

Also does it have removable frequency modules so we can plug in the original A9 synthesided 72 module?

Are the updates downloadable?

Can you easily switch Modes (1,2,3,4) ?

It may be too early yet for all the information, but I'll search the web to see what I can find.

Thanks for posting the information on the 9X.

Fly4Fun,

Wayne

Thanks Alan for a higher resolution image which I now can read.
The previous image was getting all out of focus upon enlargement.
Only people interested in this system would bother trying to read the specs.

Status: offline 		I am definately interested in this new unit and I am a happy user with my two A9's and a receiver count now of around 55.

It appears that they have not improved the screen to match even the easy to read color one used on the cheaper Eclipse Pro. That I could live with as I already have however what Hitec needs desperately is a cordless buddy system to at least match Futabas fantastic cordless buddy cord system.

Now what may seem like a minor feature/accessory to the majority of users is indeed a substancial improvement in the conduct of flight training. The A9,s have some wonderful features in there current system but are really Screwing the Pooch by not providing a cordless system to at least match Futaba's.

And I would ask any corporate types who may actually read this stuff to remember while a cordless system may not generate hugh sales of the cordless system itself but for us on the frontline of training out there we do tend to generate hugh sales of product and what is used on every field to considerable extent.

Hitec if your marketing research does not indicate your desparate need for a cordless buddy system then your research is flawed.

Status: offline 		I have been waiting on a radio to come along to take the place of my trust Futaba 9C. With the Hitec 2.4 module and 9 channel receivers, this system has worked well for me. But I would be interested in the easier and more comprehensive programming options. Increased resolution sounds good but I don't know how that latency matches up with my setup. Probably somewhat better. Not being an early adopter type person, I will wait and see what the verdict is once they reach the field.

Status: offline 		I was planning to buy a spare A9 TX and I will buy this radio if it is compatible with my Hitec receivers... about a dozen, 6,7 and 9's. If the system is not compatible I will shop for the best value and most reliable system. Which may bring me back to the A9x.

When will this system be available in North America?

There is nothing under the comparison to say it is not compatible and can see no reason why it would not be,
especially given an older post:.
. Sorry, no official announcements at this time.
However, any new radios released in the future will be backwards compatible.

Status: offline 		Yes I would and I use two Aurora 9's and have somewhere around fifty five plug and play aircraft all with hitec 7 and 9 channel receivers.

Recently completed a long over water flight of 48 miles on the colorado river and the fuel remaining and ground speed telemetry was most usefull.

I teach a lot of primary and use mostly my own airplane with the A9's but in cases where some may have different systems I will offer a loaner Hitec 2.4 Rx to use in his airplane untill after solo. This allows full access to the wonderful Hitec buddy cord features. Of course the only area they are screwing the pooch is the lack of a cordless buddy system.

Hi oliveDrab,

I'd highly recommend the Aurora 9. I have a number of flying buddies who are very happy with the ease of program, flexibility, and reliability of their Hitec Aurora 9 radio systems. It's a truly innovative radio platform that has forced all of the "big" radio manufacturers to play catchup with Hitec. You have to spend triple or quadruple the price of the Aurora 9 to get touchscreen programming from another manufacturer.

I fly Airtronics myself, and I really like all of my Airtronics 2.4Ghz radio gear (SD-10g, SD-6g, two RDS8000 radio systems). If I were shopping for a new radio platform, however, the Aurora 9 would be right at the top of my list.

Status: offline 		The A9 is a great radio! I have two, one since March of 2010. RF link is bullet proof, never have to re-bind Rx like some brands out there.

Easy to program with touch screen which is one of the best features. Very flexible capabilities as any switch or knob can support almost any feature or function.

Basic system provides downlink of battery voltage with adjustable alarms which is a good saftey feature.

I also have the Blue Telemetry system with GPS, current, voltage and RPM sensors to downlink and display speed and altitude etc.  Works great and is very handy if you want to try different props etc with electric and see current range and rpm etc.

The Voice system which sounds out the TM data is a useful toy.

I have had Hitec radios since 2000 and they are very sturdy and reliable. I had an Eclipse 7 for about 9 years and converted it to 2.4GHz with a Hitec module before I got my first A9.

Hitec Tx manuals are good. For a newcomer the Eclipse 7 manual was terrific since it not only gave good examples of how to set up  your system but has good descriptions and pictures of what things and why you might need things like differential ailerons etc.

Hitec service and support has always been good. The handle fell off my Eclipse 7 after 9 years with the help of lots of glow fuel I think.  $15 to get the case back replaced at Hitec.
