than for his double conversion RXs.
And if you see a RX that doesn't say "conversion" anywhere, it's because it doesn't matter with that RX from that mfg.
But be careful with that one...
If there is no specification as to the expected range, leaving out anything about filtering and conversion in the advertizing, TENDS to indicate that you are looking at a receiver not suitable for larger/better planes.
Manufactureres are quick to point out better specs, interference filtering and longer ranges.

FYI: Our flying field is surrounded by interference sources... WiFi, Pager Towers, Power Lines, etc.
I have no problem flying with RX's touted as being "dual conversion", "long range tripple filtered ( what does this mean? )", etc.
If I switch to Single Conversion Micro receivers on the same frequency, OH BOY... Glitch, glitch, glitch... crash... even when close in... without fail no matter the brand...
Scanners of course pick up nothing.
Be careful......... Because the following is very true:
Manufacturers like Berg and JR probably don't like to label their RXs as single-conversion because most people assume it's inferior. JR, Berg, and even Hitec make full range RXs that are single conversion,
So when you're switching to a RX that's labeled as "single conversion", it wouldn't be to one of theirs as they don't use the term. You would have to be switching to a RX manufactured by a company who uses the term and uses it in their labels as single or double to inform you of the quality of THEIR two different types of RXs.
The problems a lot of beginners and seasoned modelers have is confusing the concept with the label, or more exactly, the misunderstanding of the concept because of Futaba's use of it as a label.
