Running out of stock is different than "No Longer Available" (DX20) and/or taking the entire description off their site (DX18). Typically, they just put out an "On backorder" notice when they run out of stock. But, ... I hope they do come up with something that is DSMX, reasonably priced and can at least work the 20 Channel PowerSafe Rxers, etc.. That would be great. In the meantime, I think I found a used DX-18 with a known history for a backup. So, I am also prepared to wait and see what they come up with. But after much discussion with several folks in the past couple days about this particular dilemma, none of us would like to go to the IX platform and none of us are looking for all the bells and whistles that adds to the complexity and cost of the IX12. To the HH Whiz Kids, KISS.
