Is there any difference in range between a standard rx and a micro rx?
I know it's a dumb question 
but I know that some park flyers rx's are only good for 800' or so.
Specifically, is there any range difference between a JR R-600 standard rx and a JR R-610 micro rx?
Thanks

Usually Park flyers type of receivers have a very short range because of the sheer lack of components for proper filtration.

The dual conversion means that the rx "looks" at the signal more than once for accuracy. The latest breed of micro rx's such as the FMA M5 and the HiTec Electron 6 weigh far less than an ounce but can handle giant scale craft as well as the teeny ones. They just keep getting smaller and lighter all the time....:-) The HiTec 555 rx is older, weighs more, but works well and is dual conversion.

There is no range difference between R600 and the blue-dotted R610 receivers. I have a 610M in my (beloved) Wizard HLG - its been flown to ridiculous heights with no problems.

I'm with HarryC. Its those cheap "park flyer" Rx's that have given single conversion a bad name.

Catboatr,
To answer your specific question. JR's R610 has the same range and interference rejection characteristics as the R600. The R610 uses the very latest subminiature technology and incorporates the same circuit design, even uses ABC&W. The R610 has a slightly higher gain.
We have two club members using R610's in electric hotliners and are very impressed with their performance.
There is a JR forum hosted by Danny Snyder from Horizon, try the same question with him.
