This thing programs like butter! Came with a 128mb card not 16mb, I’ll take that. Feels good in the hands. It has a fast throttle cut off (not the trim cut off like the DX7) that you can set up to your taste. The telemetry is nice and easy to read. It programs fast and intuitively. My only gripe is that you can change switches ( I changed my gear over to aux 2 for an fiber optic kill switch) and that is nice. The bad thing is that the power up warning dose not follow it. That is based on the switch not the function. I talked to a tech about it and he said he will bring it up to the designers and hopefully address it in a firmware update soon. And that is another cool thing, I can update this radio at home.
No ratchet on the throttle by the way.
