I do believe that FASST is better than DSM because every other manufacturer is using frequency hopping. I do know pattern flyers who have had to move/add satellite receivers in order to eliminate lockouts.
Ron,
Thank you for your reply. It's your decision, and certainly whatever makes you happy, go for it. I do have a couple of things to reply to your response. First, Spektrum holds a patent for the use of DSSS for the purposes of model use. Other companies couldn't utilize that system because it's patented, so to say everyone else is using FHSS, or some variant of it, doesn't hold much water. Secondly, how many times in the past have pattern flyers, or anybody for that matter had to move their antenna for 72 MHz? At least JR's data logger allows you to optimize your setup. I would much rather have tools that allowed me to get the best possible signal, than just guess.
And Archie, the smurf shirts attract the ladies (Morgan likes them). BTW, have Tara and the kids made the big move yet?
