Default RE: Aurora 9Ch, Spectra Pro & Optima - FAQ & Undocumented Features - Mixes, Setups, Tips.

ORIGINAL: griesel

nobody at my club has an A9 and some
do not even know what it is.
They will before long. Hitec has come up with a radio that has made me leave Futaba and many others also. Futaba and JR both make great radio's but when I look at the comparison:

Hitec just seems way out in front now. Telemetry, touchscreen, complete channel assignment, ect.... all of this has sold me on the Aurora.

Times change and Futaba and JR may come storming back with something even better but for the time being, IMHO, the Aurora is now the standard for 9 - 10 channel radios and I'm buying right now. The other thing that has helped Hitec is that both Futaba and JR are more expensive than the Aurora and even if they could equal the Aurora with features, they are still more expensive. Using my Tower coupon, I'm getting the Aurora with 9 channel receiver for $399. Add the free seven channel receiver and another 7 channel for another $39, what a deal.

Anyway, I hope you get your issue worked out, sorry but I don't have my Aurora yet so I can't help you but would if I could.
