I for one didn’t buy the pizza box radio for the look......but rather for the Telemetry and the fact that that company actually listen to customer and give them free update with the most demanded tidy bits asked....and a bunch of new things we didn’t have to asked for....
While I have flown top end JR and Futaba TX I never saw one single update.....even the 12X was just a 10X with a few upgrade at a premium price...and that was my last Japanese radio....
