The long lock out has been fixed with the 2.4 JR/DX7 radio gear, now if your battery hits the low mark you only get locked out for a second or so. 6 volt is still something you should give a lot of thought to, a second is a very long time to be out of control. Like Chuck mentioned, most new gear will handle either 4.8 or 6.
So how do I know my DX7 and Rx's and Rx Batteries are brown out proof? So what I'm hearing is I don't need to go to 6v if I have a 4.8 NiMh 1500 MAh? Really makes no sense to me. For me, 6 v gives me peace of mind.
