ive been looking around for a radio to buy....i said i was going to get the FM synthesized futaba radio, but i like the glitch and interference free 2.4GHz systems that are coming out...
so far i have reaserched some different ones and ive came up with 4 different systems
Nomadio Retract

--------------------------------------
Futaba 3PM 2.4GHz with FASST system
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LB7004&P=3
--------------------------------------
SPEkTRUM DX3R DSM2 3CH surface radio
http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM3100
--------------------------------------
and finaly, the SPEkTRUM DX3.0 DMS pistol radio
http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM20300
----
all of these radios have the 2.4GHz system but ive heard some bad things about the futaba about its range and the fiberglass in hulls reducing range, the nomadio sounds pretty good though, but i think it might have the same range problems.
the specktrum dx3r seems to be the best, but most expensive of all of them...i called horizon and they said it had 3000feet of range, the antenna is long enough to extend from out of the hull, so range should not be affected, and i asked if fiberglass hulls would affect range and they said no...im still not sure which one i should get....does anyone have any personal experience with any of these radio systems? how did it perform?
should i just stick to the fm synthesized radio?
