Rollo - he's not being asked to give up anything OR buy a $1000 radio. I recommended a system or 2 in the $300-$320 range. True that additional RX's are $100 but an R168DF is $73 with a crystal. And IMO you get a lot more with the 2.4 radio. I also never said the sky was falling on 72 MHz. It WILL be around for some time but he might as well plan ahead now rather than later.
If you want to stay with what you have, FINE. I have no problem with that but we are not talking about YOU here, now are we?
Don't tell me who we are talking about while YOU are making recommendations on what YOU thing he should do. My intial questions were focused on the beginner to ask questions on what HE wants to do. I don't know why you took this personal I was pointing at EVERYONE recommending 2.4ghz like it was his only choice. Just wanted to put a little balance in the mix. Plus if he wanted to he could probably pick up a used 72mhz more quickly then the could a 2.4ghz to get started as a beginner in the hobby.
