Does anyone have any information if Spektrum are planning a 12 channel module for JR?

If the 12X is already a 2.4 only system, why would you want a 12X with a module?

What kind of module?

Are you referring to a 72Mhz RF module, to make it backwardly compatible?

henrykk

there are many reasons - and the 12x is not the only JR radio capable of 12 channels... Now that a 12 channel reciever is available - i just wanted to know if Spektrum are thinking about producing a 2.4 module that uses all PPM24 inputs to output 12 channels.

In the US, the JR 10X was the only JR radio capable of more than 9 channels. As far as I know, the new JR 12X is the only JR radio capable of 12 channel operation.

What other 12 channel JR radio are you talking about? Something from outside the US?

and the MX22 & MX24.

Anyway - I do not want to debate the merits of having a 12ch module, just asking if anyone has any information about spektrum planning to produce one.

Yes they offer one - a 12 with modules - you can change from 2.4 to- the discrete frequency stuff.
from a sales standpoint they are nowhere as popular as the 2.4 only setup.in the USA

I was just curious because I have never seen those model Tx's advertised in the US. I wasn't arguing with you. I just like to be well informed.

I have two JR XP9303 radios. One with the Spektrum module and one with a JR Synthesizer 72Mhz module. I am slowly converting over to 2.4.

Spektrum offer a 12 channel module? Please show me where?

It is ONLY compatible with the 12-radio.12X 72/2.4

Perhaps there is a bit of labeling confusion here....

While the module in question DOES have Spektrum guts in it as do all the JR 2.4GHz radios, they are technically JR. As I understand it, it's a marketing agreement between Spektrum and JR whereby Spektrum will continue marketing up to the 7 channel radios and the 8/9 channel modules for conversion of the 72MHz band radios, while JR will produce the 9 channel and up radios. Regardless of the label, they are Spektrum DSM2 setups.

So there is a 12 channel JR module available, but as Dick said it only fits the JR 12X MV:
