They've been promising this module for a long time -- it's even been found in catalogs. It was supposed to be out in October, then Feburary, then March, then October, now November ... you get the idea.
Don't believe the hype until you have one in your hands :)
| A while back I had a conversation with a pilot who had the 9z and he said | that he used the radio's built in programming to change the synthesizer's | freqs. The 9c doesn't have that programming that I am aware of and so does | this use the rotary dials like the modules for some of the other Futaba | radios?
My guess is that it's just like the Hitec Spectra module, and so the answer would be yes. But it's just an educated guess, and I'm hardly certain.
| Will it work with PCM and FM?
Having a general idea of how the radios work, my educated guess is yes. I'm pretty sure of this. After all, the current modules work with both PCM and PPM, why wouldn't this?
| Will it work with high and lo band receivers?
Almost certainly. Yes. It would be silly to make a synthesized module that can't actually do the entire band.
| Will be worth Tower's quoted price of $99 since single freq modules | for the 9c are $49.99.
Well, if you need three or more channels, yes. If not, probably not.
Still won't give you shift select like the Hitec Eclipse will, but it'll almost be there. If it ever comes out ...
