It's a great radio (I'm just a wee bit biased)

Compare it to our other radios.

One error on the PDF - the EU version IS capable of 11ms operation.

Seems like a DX9 with only 8 of the channels connected. I love my DX9!I

I wonder if the 9th channel is on the PCB? Might be possible to add a switch and connect it. But then you'd probably need the DX9 firmware. AW. Who needs 9 channels anyway?

yeah, looks like a dx9 in a different case with one less channel and no sliders. Should be a great and popular radio like the original dx8/dx7s.
