Looks like some good stuff to me. Just have to wait and see just how much a trans module and receiver will sell for.

I've been following the threads about it... Looks like it's FINALLY about ready to happen!!!! Can't wait.........

does anyone have any clue how much the module will be for the Futaba transmitter?

It's one of those 'who knows for sure until it comes out' things... It is scheduled for release in Oct though..

They have a support forum and I think I was about the first member and made first post.
I asked about the priceing and will post here when/if they say before the product is released.

Steve, you would also need the receiver as well.

I found this pricing information being passed around on the web.
Not cast in stone, but prob pretty close.
If this price holds up, would be about the same price as a standard transmitter freq module and PCM receiver.

Thanks, I realize that. I happen to know where there are a couple for sale so I wanted to know the approx. cost of the module so I could decide on buying the transmitter or not.

At the risk of sounding dumb if you use one you dont have to have a frequency pin right? if so then i will have to make that investment

You got it... No more frequency pins!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, you have to have a compatable transmitter. Then you have to buy the module and how ever many receivers that you want to use (your old receivers wont be compatable)...

This is great news...with everyone else going to this new technology, I can stick with the old stuff and never have to worry about sharing the pin! B)

True.... You may not have to worry about the pin but you still have to worry about being shot down ;^)

How so?
Unless with a shotgun or something.

Steve, I did not know that the 2.4GHz receivers for this new system were available yet.
Clue us in as to where and price.

i still say with as with all things new, i will watch others fly with it for a while...just to see what happens.. :D

No, I know two people selling transmitters that will be able to use the new Modules when they are available. so I wanted to know how much the mods would be when they come out to decide if I wanted to buy one of the transmitters. I wanted to calculate how much total I would have in the transmitter and Module (which I understand do not yet exist) once they do come on the market.

I am not an idiot, I just play one on the week ends.

If there is still confusion left about my original question then I officially withdraw it from the record and no further response is necessary.

Ok maybe I am an idiot, I am not sure anymore, I am so confused. I see now you said receiver in the original post, I read it fast and thought it said transmitter. I did not pick up on that until even after my last rambling post.

So as Rozana Rozana Dana used to say "never mind"

Although I don't see why you originally thought it necessary to tell me I would need a receiver as well, that much is obvious even to the most casual observer. I thought you thought I did not realize that the module would not work in my 7CAP transmitter, but I did so if you had thought that you would be wrong, but you didn't so I would have been wrong if I had read it right but I didn't so you are wrong I think.

;) When the new system floods the market you'll develop a couple of 'light' problems... First though, supposedly the only people who will be 'shoot down proof' will be the ones with the new system.. Everyone on 72 mgz will be just as vulnerable as they have been if not more vulnerable.. You can still shoot down the guys with the 72 mgz stuff like usual. What could happen is that there will be a mix of people using both systems including some people owning both. It would be very easy to come to the field and kick on your radio assuming that you're using the spektrum stuff when in fact you're broadcasting on channel **... Shot down!!!! Also, it could cause other fliers using the 72 mgz stuff to become lazy in getting their pin which translates to higher probability of being shot down.. Then there's the group that will never switch because they like the deniability and are used to yelling "who turned on their radio? I'm getting interference on my frequency!!! Someone shot me down". I see this happening even more;) etc etc etc

What will be funny is watching the guys with the 72 mgz fight for a place to fly on the pilot pads. When there's a open place on the flight line the guys with the spektrum just turn on and go... Flying for them will be more limited to the # of pilots flying, not by who is flying on their frequency. The other guys.... well... you know B)

Thanks Steve and Jon, it is all perfectly clear now. :unsure:
No further explanation is necessary. :wacko:

I thought of another possible problem if one switches to the 2.4 stuff.
Since you will not need the regular antenna on your transmitter, people will be hollaring at you to pull your antenna up or running out to pull it up for you and destroying your concentration.
But the new system will be good for those who often forget to pull up their trans antenna. A godsend for Charlie and Ed. :yes:

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I found a place to pre-order the new radios with the Spektrum module and was about to drop the hammer and get on the list, but I searched and searched and couldn't find how to tell them what Channel I wanted. So I decided to wait so I don't get stuck on the same channel as everyone else. :D

Sounds like a likely story :o :huh: ;)

there only 100mw so steve is waiting on the 100w version.. :D
