JR SX600 Sport Radio

Any thoughts/opinions on this radio?
Anyone know how it compares to an equivalent Futaba radio and which one that would be?
Looking for a simple/basic first time radio.

This is essentially the same as the JR 662, except it costs less (about $100 less) and does more (10 model memory instead of 6). An excellent first or second radio and certainly a best buy. I ran a 662 for a couple of years, the only thing I didn't like about it was I paid too much for it, just before the 6102 came out. (I have the 6102, now.)

It deserves your consideration.

I have the 6102 too, and love it. One of the best buy I made so far!

I'm looking at the 6102 and the Futaba 6EXAS as well, but really like the price of the SX600. Any other opinions on the SX600?

Just got the 6202 and dito. Love the raido. Easy to use, easy to program, and the controls are soooooo smooooth.

The 6102 is a great radio. I have had one for a few months now but I must admit I'm starting to outgrow it already. I need the ability to mix 2 aileron servos as well as 2 elevator servos on the same model and the 6102 won't do both. It'll do either or..but not both.

fadi

I believe a Y-harness is enough for elevator servos... or doesn't it work?
What are you going to mix in here exactly? you wanna use them as ailerons?

The sx600 is a very good basic radio, it has Dual rates, Exponential and throttle cut. I have one and love it. For $160.00 new you can't go wrong.

Thanks for the info Sam! How about the servos that come with it - any good?

ST47 jr servos get the job done. They are not ball bearing servos, but you wanted a basic first time radio. Yes the 6102 is a better radio, but if you really don't have the extra $100 to $150 to spend on a first radio, then sx600 will do fine.

This is the same radio that now comes with the Hangar 9 PTS P-51 RTF package.

Well I envision this first bird remaining the full time family trainer and want a basic radio to stay with it. Looks like the SX600 will fill that role.

Thanks,

A standard Y is fine if that works on your model or a reversing Y will also work if you have to have a second servo that travels in the opposite direction. It is really nice though, to be able to program an elevator master and slave, be able to set thier center and end points independantly, and still have them work off the same trim lever. The 6102 has this capability but if you need it for the ailerons then you can't do it for the elevator as well.
