New G2 cable
 

I have already purchased my copy of the new G2 from Tower, what I don't think I will like about the new G2 is the cumbersome hook-up of having to hook up the G2 transmiter to my computer and then my JR 8103 to that. Why not allow us to just hook up our transmiters directly to the USB port on our computers? Mark my words in a few months you will be able to hook Futaba transmiters directly to your computers USB port.Lee

Lee,
The new interlink unit will plug to your USB port and will have a lead to plug into your JR/Futaba/etc radio. It will give you BOTH an interface for your TX AND a dummy controller (to let the kids/brother/etc use!)

I'm not sure i understand your frustration; however. Why not leave the cord plugged into your printer port and simply plug in your JR radio when you're ready to fly?

AMC,

thanks for the informative post. I was wondering whether the $79 upgrade fee from G2 to USB G2 would be worth it. It will be nice to be able to use both my transmitter when I want to as well as use the dummy controller and not have to keep my batteries charged.

Will we be required to send anything back to GP when we upgrade?

Kevin

No it is a simple upgrade purchase.
