Hi Lqaun

I'm pretty sure your overthinking the whole interferance issue. You have to realize that this is a frequency hopping spread spectrum. It will automatically change the frequencies within the active 20 channels in normal mode. You dont have to swich to scan mode for it to do this. Just do a range check in normal mode, then in scan mode, I'd bet there isn't much difference. I'd also bet that you havent actually had any interference glitches, your just paranoid.

I have attended at least a few pylon races with my radio and it is probably the most reliable there, there were at least a few others who had DNS because they could not get their plane to bind when they got to the start line, (very embarassing). No such issue with aurora.
I gues am paranoid when I saw my friend's 12x lost bind when just a minute ago it communicated just fine. He turned on his 12x after assembled the plane to test the control surfaces, it worked fine, turned it off to fuel, turned it back on to fly, no communication from thereon. He had to rebind to gain control. It was at large event with many people testing and preping their planes at the same time.
