Hi Dave
I recently sold my 12X, I really liked it in its day but the direction JR have gone with the aesthetics of their new radios and their unwillingness to provide PowerBox the codes for DMSS format have left me unable to continue to use their systems. I always thought it was limited on the programming front and never understood why you couldn't freely assign any channel to any switch. It made setting up a complex scale jet very frustrating. I brought a DX18 which has made my life much easier on the set up side of things once you get over its inferior plastic feel. I don't own many models and presently only have one jet so I'm lucky I can just chop and change system without incurring much cost. I tend to follow what my customers have which is Spektrum and Futaba this makes my builds easier when I have the appropriate transmitters.
I'm looking forward to JR's next release, I hope its a good one.
Cheers, Alex
Styling is one thing, I wasn't a fan but I like the feel of the XG-11 and I'm used to the look.
Powerbox have the codes...
Limited programming? I have never felt wanting, I have a Cougar with four flaps, smoke, airbrakes, hook. Since I always use the same switch for retracts and flaps, the other controls go on the remaining switches and can assign any of the spare channels to a spare switch in device select.
I don't know anyone who has lost a model to a DSX-12, the DX-18...Mmmm
JR's next radio will cover every gismo anyone can think of...
