Buy a Spectra and forget it It is a cheep solution. A new one is about $100.00 Used modules run in the $40.00 range each one channel. Spend the money so you can fly on any channel.

Thanks for the links.
Actually, I'm changing from a Spectra module to a fixed module. You see, I used to have planes on different frequencies,.... so I'd just dial in what I wanted on the Spectra....
UNTIL... those cheese-ball plastic tabs used to remove the Spectra broke off. Now what do I do?
I love the Spectra's function, but I won't buy another until there are metal removal tabs or they make the frequency dials accessible when the module is plugged in.
Good idea. Bad execution.

P.S. Hitec bang per buck is awesome. All of my plane electronics are Hitec.

I Fly Futaba Super Seven TX and Hitec receivers and servos on most of my eleven planes. I would fly a Spectra moduel if it where legal. I have several modules so I can fly in the indoor meets.

I suspect that the inaccessable frequency pots during use were a prerequisite for certification.
I have five Spectra systems and one has had broken tabs for about three years now but that didn,t stop flying, Just carefully levered it out with two small flats each time.
So Mike your response delighted me and I will 'E' mail you with my addy. Thanks
