Guys, again I please ask that we try to keep this thread on point. Once again I AM
NOT asking for people's personal opinions about which radio they prefer or trust more.
I just want to know what the facts are:
1. IS JR MARKETING A TYPE OF FREQUENCY HOPPING SYSTEM SIMILAR TO FUTABA'S FASST IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
2. IS THERE PROOF OF THAT?
3. AND IS THERE ANY LITERATURE, LINKS, YOUTUBE, ETC... THAT
MAY SHOW WHY JR IS DOING THIS?
4. AND FINALLY, IS THIS A PRECURSOR TO JR SWITCHING FROM DSM2 TO FHSS?
Again, PLEASE, this is NOT a personal opinion thread, it is a fact finding thread and I would like to keep it that way so the moderators dont shut it down.
Thank you very much in advance for understanding and respecting these wishes!

You take some convincing Shaz! Ok, this first link is to a post from Mac-man who represents the UK importer of JR
http://www.rcmf.co.uk/4um/index.php/...html#msg826504
These are shops listing the XG7 Tx, or DMSS items like Rx, coming soon

The JR distributors are not yet officially publicly advertising the new DMSS systems, presumably that will wait until they have them, but the word is out now, the UK importer is publicly aknowledging the system (see first link) and their shops are beginning to advertise them in advance. It is real!
Why is JR doing this? Best info available is that they didn't like the commercial agreement they were locked into with Spektrum, their is no rumour that they felt DSM2 is inferior.
JR will be switching over completely from DSM2 to their own DMSS system, timescales not known at the moment.
It would not be entirely right to say JR DMSS is like Futaba FASST, any more than it would be like Multiplex M-Link or like Weatronics 2.4, or like Sanwa/Airtronics 2.4 or like Hitec AFHSS etc etc. They are all channel hoppers, unlike DSM2, but their similarities end there as they are all incompatible with one another.
