Re: importing JR 9X for US use

You could buy one from the UK or Oz and use it, but:

1. It will come factory Mode 1 set up. Most US flyers fly mode 2

2. You can swap the 35 / 36 Mhz Module for a 72 Mhz module

3. The Tx "wall wart" charger will be useless as household electricty is 240~250 volts (US 110 volts) with a different plug pin configuration

4. The Rx will be useless to you - wrong frequency

5. Horizon won't want to know you if you have a "warranty" issue with the set

6. Customs duty?

7. Radio's in the UK and Oz cost lots more than they do in the US so there is no benefit there!

Cheers
