<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the biggest advantage point here would be
keeping the park flyers off of the general frequency range. Every
Christmas there are more and more of these out there that could shoot down one
of our more expensive models down. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this technology will come full circle and
we will be able to utilize this in our larger models. Think about how it
would help at the NATS. No more matrixing and scheduling or running
multiple events in one session would be possible.</FONT></DIV>

<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>

Usually JR swings for the fences. I thought it was a little odd they <BR>did
<BR>> not do that on this product. I did look in the ad's fine print for
<BR>any <BR>> restictions and did not see any. <BR>> <BR>> Troy, you
