I have a couple of Hitec E-Clipse Seven radios. One is PCM capable, "although I don't use any PCM Rx's. One is not, I'm very pleased with those radios and they have done all that I wanted until now. I bought a Futaba 9 Caps this week because I need another channel on some comeing projects. The Futaba is a little cumbersome to program when compared to my E-Clipses and does'nt feel quite as comfortable in my hands. I should mention however, that I started working on the programing just lastnight so I really have not had the time to climatize myself to the unit. The unit has considerbly more programing capacity than the E-Clipse, as it should have that and more considering it is twice the price. I think I will eventually like it once I learn it and get used to the feel.
