Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / May 2004

I'm replacing an old radio that isn't narrow band.  I currently
use JR computer radios with my heli.  I see a 75mHz Futaba T2ER
2-channel and a Hitec Ranger IIN 27mHz at my local hobby store.  I
think I would rather have only 75, and the store can order both radios
either way.  I also would like to know that I could swap servos around
if I want.  Is the Hi-Tec wiring and connector identical. Recharging
in the tx is nice, but I can take out the batteries I suppose.

I saw only 1 3-channel stick radio which I could not even find on the
HiTec site
what's up with that?  It's called a Ranger III FM, is it still
available?(http://www.hitecrcd.com/Radios/Ranger3fm.htm)

I'm looking for input especially about things that I might miss, like
if I'm a JR guy I would prefer one or the other or there is not
charging jack on a radio, etc.  Thanks!
