So after buying a new Hitec Optic 6 last spring (I love Hitec's stuff), I decided that maybe a more complex radio might be in store for me this season. I really liked the look and features that the Aurora 9 had to offer, but at the same time I didn't feel like I was ready to spend 300-400 dollars on a radio. About a month ago a buddy of mine was talking about a radio that he had bought from a fellow club member for $150, but what caught my attention was when he mentioned it was a 10 channel system. He brought it to the next club meeting and I really liked it. It had an easy to use touch screen and VERY easy to use programming, and it also had a magnesium case; the thing was like a Cadillac! This system is a JR 10SXII, made in the 90's, but as solid as any radio today, especially when equipped with a 2.4ghz module.
The moral of the story is that there are great deals to be made, and the newest radio might not always be the best radio (especially on a budget, I ended up getting this TX with a Spektrum module for $110). If you see one for a good price, its a radio worth picking up! Just wanted to share my experience with this radio to my fellow modelers. Pictures will come soon.
