The pattern world is going spectrum-2.4 GHZ. Our club is anyway. I run a Spectrum DX7 and are looking into a DSX9. They are the Bees Nees (i think) our club has 15 (?) DSXs' of a club made out of 50+. The world is going spectrum although it is already banned in some countrys' from being to popular! Any half modern computer radio will be fine. If you ask me you defnitely need mixing, you can't just hold in the Elevator!

Sorry, but I am not fimilar with the Futaba setup, I am a JR/Spectrum man!

Cheers,
