The 610 is very much like the transmitters I was using in the late 70's. You will outgrow it FAST. But, with no model memory it will teach you how to properly set up linkages if you want to use a second model. You'll have to bind to it to each model every time you use it. That will be a pain.
That diode is an old game the radio manufactures play, to force you to use their charger. You can solder a jumper wire across to complete the circuit and bypass that diode. Very simple really.
