Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / October 2006Spread Spectrum for General RC Use (DX7)
The pattern list reported that there is now a Spektrum DX7 on sale for general RC use: http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM2710 I am not affiliated with anybody who is making a profit on this item and receive no compensation for mentioning it in this group (drat!). I'm just happy that spread spectrum solutions are being worked out. I hate to think of how much it will cost to move all my planes over to a new system. I want to head in that direction eventually, but I imagine that I'll be locked into one brand for a long time to come. I doubt that there will be generic receivers for SpSp transmitters. (SP2? I hate SS as an acronym!) My JR 8103 is falling apart. The innards work OK, but I've damaged the case. I'd love to get into the world of digital trims, too. Decisions, decisions ...

But since you are a performance oriented flyer, I don't think I would make the jump until I learned a few things. Who knows, maybe you know them already? I'm interested in the update or polling rate of the primary control surface pulses. Much more bandwidth will be required just to maintain our current polling rate when going to spread spectrum. Which is why you'll never see SS in the 72 MHz, unless the FCC lets us hop from one channel to another, which isn't likely. I bought one of the Spektrum SS Park Flyer radios a while back. Nice, but I'm not convinced that the throughput is as fast as current non SS rigs. I'm not sure either way, mind you, but something doesn't feel the same as it should. I could be mistaken. Have been many times before. Ed Cregger Hi Ed, Go here http://tinyurl.com/y4sqen and scroll down to the Mike McConville review. It may allay your reservations. >> The pattern list reported that there is now a >> Spektrum DX7 on sale for general RC use: [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > Ed Cregger >Hi Ed, >Go here http://tinyurl.com/y4sqen and scroll down to the Mike McConville >review. It may allay your reservations. Sounds like it is a better TX than I am a pilot. :o) Marty -- The Big-8 hierarchies (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk) are under new management.

Fantastic news! If the DSM2 technology is patentable I wonder how the other radio manufacturers will react? Anyone interested in a slightly used 9303? ;-) > The pattern list reported that there is now a > Spektrum DX7 on sale for general RC use: [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > The Big-8 hierarchies (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk) > are under new management.

The 9303 will keep me happy for a couple more years, I figure, while you bleeding-edge people test-fly the 2.4 GHz stuff for me. :o) Marty -- The Big-8 hierarchies (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk) are under new management.

Ed Cregger >>>I still have an 8103 that hasn't been flown much... >> Digital trims? >Yes. OK. Keep me in mind if you decide to sell it. That would scratch one itch. My 8103 was the last with the slider trims. I have done ridiculous damage to the case, too. :o( Marty -- The Big-8 hierarchies (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk) are under new management.

Keep me in mind if you decide to sell it. Ed--I've just purchased a used 9303 with two receivers. I'm all set for the next few years, if all goes well. I'll try not to drop-kick the new TX the way I did my 8103. :o( Marty -- The Big-8 hierarchies (comp, humanities, misc, news, rec, sci, soc, talk) are under new management.
