Have used this radio now for about 3 months, both in the HOTT and (free) PPM system. No issues with either. The telemetry is I think some better than Jeti`s, with voice alert for a number of functions. Also you have constant monitoring of signal-strenght and battery for the RX. Great system with lots of (too many??) features. I`m sorta old school so touch-pads and digi-trims takes some getting used to.... Wish they stayed with knobs and switches. This TX is much larger and heavier than the MC-24 so I think you will find it un-comfortable as a hand-held unit.
