I have been looking at this radio for a number of weeks and i am now probably going to take the plunge and buy. I predominately fly large gliders and am finding myself very restricted and short of channels with my existing JR 3810. I am particularly attracted to the programming functionality and switch assignability. there is only one thing stopping me buying at the moment. I see that the MX24 will be synthesised and was wondering, particularly as the radio has been around a little while, if there are any plans to bring out a new synthesised version in the near future. Does any one know of any plans? Would hate to buy now and find a new model next month for example.
