RE: Crystal Swapping.. Again
Matt,
You guys seem to have confused some general observations and thoughts with personal attacks. Please back off and don't do that because it gets in the way of discussion.
You and your 'competitor' both posted nice pictures. He has taken the extra steps to post more than one makers detailed commentary about their products. Bully for him, but I have some serious questions. As you, and others, have noted much of what is seen on the web is bogus. One of his sites speaks of being 'available' in JULY and the other talks about flying autonomously, which is against the rules. You have been keeping your availabilities, functionalities and the like under wraps for what is probably good reason; which is why I opined about the few radio manufacturers.
Lets look at it slightly differently. I have a significant investment in my present radio systems and am unwilling to throw them away for something new, neat and tricky, and unproven from an unknown maker. My negative opinion about radio makers is/was directed to those who make the systems I currently fly as it is fairly clear that it did not take millions of dollars for you and others to create an effective SS based system. I want an effective SS based system, but am unwilling to mortgage my first born male child to buy one from a restricted specialty source. In other words, I don't want to be the only one in my club flying with that system and feel the hobby needs to move in this direction.
I hope that clears up my comments for you.
