I have also been looking for a new radio to fly my jets with. I currently have the 9Z radio and need more channels. I have looked at the royal evo and found that the one thing that I do not like about it is that the sliders on the side look like they are rods that slide back and forth on side of the radio, can someone verify or clear up my thinking on this. If anyone has a picture of what their sliders look like it would be greatly appreciated. Also are the receivers syntesized as well? I love this feature on the futaba.

Thanks

Patrick.
