Independent tests prove lack of frequency hopping with XPS

My XPS hops and I love it!

Hi Kris,
Dressed to promote the hobby: (sorry:0)

At least - just brushed under the carpet. Looks like JD erased all threads connected to the hopping issue on RCGroups XPS forum.

Well they dont and wont get brushed under the carpet here.

Of course if JD would be so kind as to deliver a video to us showing the hopping and what very special conditions it takes for that to happen we would welcome him and I would gladly admit to being wrong.

Maybe I need to get onto Graupner and have them supply us with some cast in stone evidence of how their system is going to frequency hop if the going gets tough. I'm sure a huge player in the industry like them would be only too willing to display the strengths of the systems they will be selling.

Yes, he did, and about darn time! There are plenty of venues for that discussion. The rampant attacks from both sides of the fence in the XPS Vendor area made it impossible to have any real meaningful dialog about real-world Q&A about the XPS systems. The "hop/doesn't-hop discussions can be had in the appropriate RCG forums. Hitec exercises much more stringent control over its Vendor area, why should JD be any different? The issue of hop/doesn't is not swept under the rug everywhere on RCG. In fact, if those with difficulties on this issue would use some common sense and decorum instead of bashing each person who has a positive experience with XPS, the exchange of information COULD have continued. Each of you who posted over and over and over how bad you thought XPS is are responsible for those threads disappearing. You all could have kept it as a free exchange of information, but it always had to go to bashing.

If it doesn't work for you, go get something that does.

I suspect that JD will be waiting for the launch of this 900MHz version (which is FHSS).

At that stage he'll simply say "if you must have robust agility then our 900MHz system is probably best for you".

That will become a stock-reply to anyone questioning the frequency agility of the 2.4GHz systems.

That's fine for new-customers but what about those who have already bought on the promise of frequency agility?

Ah, as so many in the XPS support forum say "that's Marketing".

Did exactly that, I fly on an interferance prone site, constant glitching on PPM, this is why I went with the Graupner IFS system, I sent the Graupner IFS straight back to them when I got four incidents of lock out during flight, Graupner took back the unused Rx's in their boxes but have refused to issue a credit note for the module and one Rx, they have suggested the return of the units for testing, they already had these units in their hands once, we are about to send them back again with a request that they prove beyond doubt that the units operate in accordance with their advertising, not just that they operate i.e. hop frequencies.

Will keep everyone informed of our progress.

I'm surprised to see that 'Ze Germans were fooled by JD. . .

Well, Graupner was.
Word is out in all german groups that XPS does not work as advertised, and most people are switching to Fasst.
However, Graupner employees have allegedly stated that more than half of all sold iFS systems go to ship drivers and construction vehicle modellers. Honestly, these guys will never notice if the system does not hop. It is difficult to crash a caterpillar

This is weird.........

I have tried to keep updated on this thread to see what's all going on in the XPS world. I have made a choice to get the newer futaba TM-8 MOD and Reciever for my 9Z.

the weird part is , that the last 30 pages or so of this thread has XPS being defended by numerous guys who are almost "ALL" new members , which have pretty much only posted in THIS THREAD.

maybe a little JD and friends spamming going on?? just a thought.
