RE: Help for Sanwa/Airtronics RD8000
Doesn't matter whether your radio is JR, Futaba or Sanwa, if it is bought from Asia the stick mode menu is locked. For Europe it is unlocked, suppose that for USA too.
I have had 2 RD8000, 2 JR 9XII and now I have a RDS8000. JR is a classy radio. According to me - the best. Don't be fooled by silly posts that Sanwa RD8000 is better than Futaba 9C, but it is cheaper because it is reasonably priced. It is cheaper because the quality is lower. There is nothing in common between RD8000 and JR 2610, 2720, 9X, Futaba 7C, 9C, FF10.
Both JR and Futaba (excluding the cheap Futabas - 6EX, 4EX, Skysport - poor quality) are much better radios, but unfortunately much more expensive.
As soon as I have more vacant funds I will buy JR again.
The RDS8000 is good for it's price. That's all. If you can add 60$ more don't hesitate - go for the JR DSX7. You won't regret!
Thank you very, very much for the SVC menu instructions!!!
Wish you all the best!
