<DIV>Spektrum is a radio brand that is designed, produced, distributed by <BR>Horizon Hobbies. The TX is based on a 6 channel JR unit. This concept <BR>has been in development/testing by Horizon (and others) for about 7 <BR>years as I understand it. <BR><BR>The restrictions are inherent with the recommended usage - ie, park <BR>fliers and small models - those that would not go beyond the tested <BR>range of the radio. You would not want to use this radio in a 2M <BR>pattern model or 40% plane which is visible and controllable at a far <BR>greater range than smaller models. <BR><BR>Regards,</DIV>
