RE: converting existing 9303 to 2.4 ghz
I am also a Ham ( KF4U ) and 6 meters is the last place I would fly. If you feel the conversion is right for you then it is the right thing to do. My point is converting just for the sake of converting probably does not make sence for the majority of fliers, especially when you are giving up loads of radio capability in the case of a high end radio.
