I'm sorry but what does that prove? I don't think anyone is doubting that the multiple node system works. Just that it doesn't seem like it should be needed. Neither Futaba or Hitec do satellite rx and their systems work just fine.
Actually it proves quite a bit... someone better versed in antenna theory could give you quite an earful too...
You can operate any and all multinode Spektrums WITHOUT the satellite very well if you elect to. They are not ''needed''. They are an extra measure of safety though.
You didn't say WITHOUT a satellite in your original post, you said "stock setup". Which for many means WITH a satellite, especially in the case of the AR8000 which will not function without the satellite. Hence my confusion as to what your point was.
