Out of those three radios, why one do you think is the overall best? (features, radio range, reliability, ergonomics, etc...)
I was looking at affordable module based FM radios (on ebay) that could later be upgraded to spektrum if the need arise.
Don't forget to give reasons for your choice, or even suggest another radio if it's module based and relatively cheap.
Thanks!

Out of your choices I pick the SRX . A good radio with plenty of features and at a good price . I would remove the Lynx from your list as they do not make the radio any more . When Spektrum fist came out I was going to get the SRX and put a module in it . But then I picked up a KO Propo radio cheap and did that .

I was looking at ebay for best prices, and the Lynx is still available on ebay.
What's a KO propo radio? Is it module based? (I would guess yes based on your comments) What's the price/features?
BTW, what would you say the SRX has over the futaba 3PJ (or even the lynx) for you to recommend it over it?
Anyone knows the power output on those radios?

The SRX has the option to be synthesized or run on spektrum, it has tons of features, and feels better IMO then any of the others, I dont know much about the other radios you listed though. Im about to buy a SRX for myself, they are great radios. A co-worker at the LHS has one and its great.

Actually yes, sorry I meant the Lynx 3D, I updated the poll to reflect that.
I just downloaded the respective manuals of the SRX and the 3PJ and I must say that after reading the manuals, the number of features/functions is not even close, the 3PJ (and 3PJS) offer a ton more than the SRX, the LCD seems more detailed and offers more info on the 3PJ too.
For those interested:

3PJ manual:

Dawnman, thanks for the comment on the ergonomics, I must say that it was a concern of mine after seeing pics of the Lynx 3D, it does look a little awkward...
I'm still open to comments on everything (range/power output, user experience, etc...) on those 3 radios, so keep the voting and comments coming guys!

Both the Lynx 3D and 3PJ are discontinued radios . The SRX is a current radio . Unless you plan to buy a used radio stick with something current in the making .

Heres Misbehavin's review on the CRX, it is very similar to the SRX, but has a few more features. [link=http://www.misbehavin-rc.com/reviews/hitec/aggressor-crx/radio.asp]LINK[/link]
