Call me skeptical, but I have done plenty enough 2.4ghz stuff with wifi to know that it is a very crowded band that does not always work. If I have to pick between channel management on a clear band, and trusting some frequency hopping protocol on a crowded band I'll live with the frequency management, at least for now. While these new digital frequency hopping protocols are immune to interference in the sense that they won't get instructions from another transmission, they are not immune to interference that breaks down the protocol link. While frequency hoping and spread spectrum tries to get around this problem, it still has problems on a crowded band. According to the information at http://www.horizonhobby.com/Shop/ByC...ProdID=SPM1001 the transmitter looks for a free channel before transmitting. While that would work fine inside the 72mhz band, I have my doubts about it working in a band that also has wifi, bluetooth, cordless phones, video transmitters, etc. Also keep in mind that these devices may not be so polite about steeling your channel.

I'm all for digital radios and automated channel management, just not on the 2.4ghz band.

Edit: spell chucker didn't work for me....
