Great information; thank you. With respect to Jeti, I was curious about some of the things you mentioned concerning receivers, servos, etc. so I'll be looking into that. I too have heard of some issues (specifically brown outs) with the Spektrum, but even so there seems to be a favorable disposition towards the DX-20. I'm interested in product support after the sale, so I'll be researching that as well. Jannica mentioned waiting for the new stuff from Power core, but newer technology is a double-edged sword and I usually don't purchase unproven platforms in any venue. I'm just looking for something that is going to be reliable with great features and support. Very helpful information, I appreciate it.

Four years ago , decided to try turbines but wanted telemetry to go with it. Since there was no possibly of Airtronics Sd10g going with telemetry ; so did some research and Jeti was it. It did take a fair bit of my RC cash but in the end ; the hit wasn’t that bad as I sold off a fair bit of my Airtronics 2.4 stuff.
After using it (DS16) decided that the more I used it the better I liked it. As for service I haven’t had to use any . Just did one or two software upgrades to bump the channel count from 16 to 24 channels plus more features, no added hardware needed. The manufacturer listens well to users. Find the cost of receivers ,comparable to Futaba or Jr DMSS ; pretty much the same or sometimes less.

My recent progression (last 10 years & modern radio’s) has been Multiplex, Weatronic, and now Jeti.
A search would reveal the sad story behind Multiplex & Wea.....I liked both just fine.....but they just could not get their acts together, especially in the USA. Weatronics is now a dead duck......
I’m a very happy Jeti DS-16 user for (I think) 3 1/2 years now, never looked back.

Yep. Hitec/Multiplex USA was bought (some years ago now) by an investor from Korea and the new organization did not feel the need to go to the cost/effort to do the FCC certification for Multiplex 2.4ghz. Hence.....no more Multiplex (or service) in the USA. Sad.......

They did indeed but quickly found problems in the design of the BAT transmitter and did not want to take on the liabilities for any trouble that it caused so they promptly closed it. Their new system, the Core transmitter and receivers, use the Weatronic transmission system but is not compatible with the previous Weatronic receivers.

When Jeti came out with their new 24 channel transmitter, what happened to all the folks that had Jeti’s “old” 16 channel?
They got new 24 channel transmitters too. For free.
Say what you will, if this kind of approach to technology upgrades is what a company takes, then it seems pretty reasonable to say that Jeti really cares about their customer base.
Now throw on top all of the goodies that Jeti offers?
You make the call.

Previously , a person asked , will it have temperature telemetry for individual multi cylinder engines ? Yes it can and will even read out what they are on demand . You are the boss !

That would make more sense...... There has been other upgrades ; fine tuning if you want to call it; for users requests; as Jeti listen's to users wants
and if there is enough they do the programming., unlike others. Here in Canada there are a few who would like to own Jeti
but refuse to purchase because of the distributors negativeness or whatever you could call it toward other manufacturers which may be true but
My argument is that to use a great product ; disregard what the comments are with them and focus more on the manufacturer and their products.
The distributor is just someone you deal with for a few minutes for the order and that's it. Once you have the radio, receivers and products in hand
the distributer is done with as there are great help forums on line with Rcgroups, Rcuniverse, Rccanucks and Rccanada just to name a few.
Lots of retailers north and south of the border to purchase from.

I held a Jeti the other day and it had a nice look and feel.. a solid radio. For those who have owned JR/Futaba, would you guys say the programmability and feature set/telemetry offering is on a whole new level?
I guess you can get glideslope telemetry info?
