Radio Question - 05-09-2005, 02:18 PM

I was at the Berwyn bash and was talking to a couple guys about getting a new radio for my savage. They were telling me about an fm system that automatically finds an open frequency. For the life of me i cant remember the name of it. Im also looking for a good radio comparable to the JR that will work with this system. thanks guys...

You Spektrum is not synth. It works like your home cordless telephone. It finds one of 89 (i think) open channels and links that to your receiver.

The radios that work with spektrum need a removable module.
Jr r-1
M8
Futaba 3pk
Kyo pro po eos (I think)

These radios can all be synthesized but not with the spektrum.

I am having my spektrum and M8 delivered this week. I will probably be selling my xs3 with 2 receivers, charge lead(needs reversed polarity) 2 extra recvr antennas and an extra radio antenna. All in perfect working order (1 antenna is sodered and works fine) that is why I have the extra antennas but never had to use it yet. Also a metal with the foam insert radio case.

There you go AutoPartsGuy... The XS3 alone with one Rx, and 2 servos is $199 new, and the extra Rx's run about $75-$80 new. Not to mention the case and extra antennas.... That is a Great deal.

I got the radio a year ago last February. Has worked flawlessly. I added another recv'r after that soemtime. They have the usually scuffs and minor use scratches. But has never been dropped and well taken care of. I will be selling it once I get the M8 and spektrum figured out. Will probably after the pro series race, would like to have a back up in of any probs with the spektrum. Will put an add in the for sale section once I decide to let it go.
