RE: Mode 1 vs. Mode 2 radios
Better check out the individual TX and it's makeup.
Some (not all) may require different software and/or {with the JR 3+1 trim set-up (digital save for throttle).}----a totally different assembly.
I happen to like the 10X on six meters and Mode one, for my personal use but recognize that others have a different set of priorities and therefore make different choices. If YOU like it and it is good for YOU then I have nothing to say.
----------EXCEPT ------- that I like JR AND their customer service is second to none !
