Futaba and JR are both fine radios, each radio will have things that it does better then
the other brand. The only true advantage offered by JR is the 10th channel.

That being said, the DV8R is a sport jet, you dont need 10 channels to set it
up properly. Being new to jets you will have a lot of other expenses coming your
way that you really shouldn't cheap out on. If you are flying Futaba and are
happy I'd stay there.
