If you agree that the radio's are produced side by side, with the same components, then why is it so hard to swallow that they are the same? If you buy one, you are buying the other. Period.
Well, that makes sense. If you would have said, "Spektrum radios and JR radios are the same," then this thread wouldn't exist. You said that "Spektrum is JR" and that they are the same company.
