Sanwa Link: What you are looking at there in your link is the surface equipment. Exces, M11, etc. are the surface 2-4Channel radios.

This radio we are talking about is the RDS8000 2.4GHz 8 channel (which Sanwa showed the first handmade sample of at the Shizouka show in May).

Low voltage has become a concern due to the required used of a computer in the receiver. A computer chip is simply less flexible in terms of voltage supply.

The RDS8000 prototypes are being tested for these conditions. However, please know that the design was intended to operate at under 3 volts and that so far in testing we have had no problems with low-voltage, resetting, etc. And that includes the system being used in some pretty demanding settings.

The testing parameters for the design are pretty rigorous.

Once we have real-world extensive testing to go with the "perfect world" bench testing and the theoretical ratings, then we will be able to publish more specific information about low voltage, drop out, etc.
