In it in you mention that the 9C is now available with a synthesized module. I didn't find one when searching for it at Tower Hobbies. Where can you buy one?

But, be forewarned that the AMA Technical Director, Steve Kaluf has warned AMA members that such use is illegal. AMA insurance might not pay in event of an accident. I have verified that Hitec also does not endorse such use.

Are you encouraging others to join you in an illegal activity?

Illegal!!?? I too have a 9C and have used a friends Spectra module in the radio. I also know that if I am involved in some type of "incident" the AMA may not choose to cover me so I don't use the module anymore. However I don't understand why you would call this illegal. Unsupported and not recomended (by AMA) yes, but illegal? > Then, perhaps you should have mentioned it in your post. Are you > encouraging others to join you in an illegal activity?

Probably referring to the fact that the FCC doesn't like someone making modifications to a transmitter unless they are properly licensed to do so..

Unsupported and not recomended (by AMA) > yes, but illegal? Makes the AMA sound more like the "Big Brother" many imagine them to be (including themselves). This has been discussed on many forums and the only things that can really be agreed on is: The manufacturers do not recommend it but why would they? Makes sense that they would want you to use their modules and not someone else's. Plus to recommend a another module, as manufacturers they would have to cough up for the testing/certification of that particular configuration. And be able to provide documentation supporting their conclusions. Cheaper to just say "no"! The AMA does not approve of it. Probably because of the lack of testing and endorsement by the manufacturers more than anything else. But is it OK according to FCC rules? That can generate a lot of opinions. This combination has not been certificated for use by the FCC. To be legal, that is required. I took your position for a long time. Steve Kaluf's position was supported by the AMA legal staff, and I have been convinced that certification is possible only if both Hitec and Futaba agree to jointly do it. They haven't, and they won't, as is evidenced by the upcoming release of a Futaba module for the 9C. Jim - AMA 501383 (remove NOSPAM to reply) > Illegal!!??
