Default RE: Jeti DC-16

I have it and have been using it with my pattern planes nd scale models. There are two extensive threads on it on RCG where the US distributor is active and helpful. This radio is, in a word, excellent. Quality is outstanding, very flexible, you can move switches around easily and the software will instantly recognize what switch te is where, you can add stick tip switches as well, and so forth. Programming is quite intuitive, I recently set up a 14 channel scale Messerschmitt and was. Loan away at how easy it was to program, adding functions is very very easy, mapping functions to one or more servo channels is trivial, and there are 16 free mixes in addition to things like butterfly, etc. mixes can be linear or curved on up to 7 (or more, I can't recall off the top of my head) point curves, as well as kicking in at X>, X<, absolute value of X, etc curves.

When you get into the whole Jeti universe of equipment (RX, ESC, sensors, etc) the thing really begins to shine, as everything is programmable and you can program every device from the screen of the Jeti radio (no extra programming cards/dongles/stick manipulation a needed). Telemetry is built into everything from the start, and telemetry downlink is at 20-80% of the TX power (depending on the RX). So when the radio warns you 'signal lost' it's saying it can't hear the RX anymore, so you have time to get the plane coming back toward you before you fly out of TX range. You can set up alarms based on telemetry conditions (I.e. capacity used > some value) and have it report the current value to you with voice output.

That's just scratching the surface of this radio's capabilities! It's worth every penny!
