9Z WC2 Discontinued?
Tower lists the WC2 as "Discontinued"... Is there any replacement at the near future? Some new 2048 PCM cheaper than 14MZ perhaps? It is not just curiosity, I am looking for a new Tx now, and WC2 was the first option... Thanks

RE: 9Z WC2 Discontinued?
I ordered one from my local hobby shop and he informed me that there was no longer any stock available. He concluded that the 9Z must be discontinued, but will inquire.
I was certain that Futaba was still selling/supporting the 9Z as their web site still promotes this model. I have already sold my previous Futaba radio (after having ordered), fully expecting to be able to get a 9Z. Now I'm at a crossroads. Do I wait for the next radio from Futaba in this price range or do I consider a JR 10X? The price of the 14MZ is not justifiable for non-pro use.
Futaba,
Are you expecting to release a new radio to fill the gab between the 9C and the 14MZ? If not, will the 14MZ come down to the 9Z's price (or close to it)?

RE: 9Z WC2 Discontinued?
I hate to butt in on the support forum, but if you want a 9Z there are other vendors who you might check with. Including Big Horn Hobbies, Chief Aircraft, and Central Hobbies just to name a few...
edit info:
According to the currency converter I used and the listed price on the models shown for distribution in Europe, the new tx is in the $1850 US dollar range...
