You might want to check out the HiTec Eclipse. While I use mostly Futaba, I find I like the Eclipse a lot. I often trouble shoot others problems and, with the Eclipse with the Spectra module, I can run any make RC system other than PCM receivers. I've used it with Futaba, JR, HiTec and Airtronics receivers with 100% success. It also has memory for seven different models. going price it typically 118 bucks US for Xmtr, Spectra module, nicads and charger.
