So a manual update/copy of the settings will get you close on control deflections and such. The rest of it won't be much use as the newer Spektrum stuff is so much different to program than JR.
That said, the programming is much more intuitive and if you just let the radio guide you through the initial setup, when you get to setting control deflections there will not be a lot to change. I would NOT leave the servos connected to their surfaces while you do this and mixes/flight modes will not transfer either.
As a matter of practice, I ALWAYS start out with less expensive models on a new radio, usually my foamies.... lol
The DX20 is a nice radio and I think you will enjoy it, but it is just a bit different to program than your JR.....
Thank for the input, I had a DX18G2 NIB and never used it for the past year. I saw the Jeti a couple of years ago and was really interested but as others have stated the obvious. So I opted for the DX system. Sadly I do not have any foamie type planes, never got into flying coffee cups. Most everything I have is $1500+.
Maybe I should just add new planes to it slowly to see how it goes. I always liked the feel of JR in my hands The DX20 is closer to that. Still not sure why the radio companies continue to make radios that feel like you are holding an encyclopedia book ?
