Yes, & even better, there's also a module & receiver that completely
eliminates the need to figure out what frequency to use, because it
does it all for you. It's called the Spektrum DSM by the company of
the same name(Spektrum), they have versions out now for all the
biggest radios from Airtronics, Futaba, JR & KO(which I have, as I
also have the original Mars). The module & receiver are "bound"
together when you do the install, & once done, the receiver will ONLY
work for YOUR TX module, if it can't find the signal from your
DSMmodule, it'll go into failsafe mode(which can also be set to
whatever throttle position you want, for me I set it to go to
neutral). And when you turn them both on, the module & receiver will
search the 2.4 GHz band until they find an open frequency on it(all
automatically, & it usually happens in about 1 second or less), so you
never have to worry about being on someone else's channel anymore,
because it'll find one for you. Plus there are about 79 designated
channels on that band that the Spektrum system uses, so there's little
chance that one would run out of channels under most circumstances. I
have one for both my TC4 & my XRay M18, it the system has been
FLAWLESS from the moment I installed it in them a couple of months
ago. Worth every penny I paid for it.....:)

Well, I paid about $200 on eBay for the Mars, & about $170 from
Stormer Hobbies for the Spektrum system......:)
