Need to Borrow/Rent a Futaba 9Z
Hello,
I've been working on a 64K memory module for the Futaba line of radios (see here: http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products_64k.html) and its fully tested in the 8U and 9C radios but I don't have a 9Z to test it in (and I can't afford one right now).
I'm hoping to locate someone in Champaign, IL or Cincinnati, OH (or someone willing to ship?) who will allow me to borrow (or rent) their 9Z radio and do some testing. It would involve pluging a 64K memory module into the radio and watching the data and clock signals on an oscilloscope. It could take as little as 15 minutes. No radio settings would be affected. I'd be willing to rent the radio, or give a couple of our finished 64K modules to the lender. If anyone thinks they can help me please send me an email.
Thanks for your time,
Chris Hansen

You are aware that there is already someone making CAMPAC replacements with up to 512K of memory, right?
http://www.model-gadgets.com/
Click on the Product Link, it is called an Ultra-Pac.
I have the 512K model in my 9Z. Very sweet.
But if you can make something better and for less, then it improves the hobby!!

Hi again,
Sorry for the slow reply. Yes, I'm aware of their product. I'm also aware that they refuse to sell to more than one US distributor (and they seem to be constantly out of stock). I can beat their product and their price. I've gotten probably over a hundred emails from people wanting 64K modules.
I wouldn't trade my reputation to steal someone's radio. If someone can't offer one up for loan, does anyone want to sell one cheap? I'll even take one that's been dropped or damaged.
Thanks,
Chris Hansen
