I was soooo close to buying the XPS system, but fortunately I ran into the threads about the hopping issue. The fact that I allmost bought the system is why I feel like I can post this reply.
Being a technician the only thing I can say about the XPS company responses is "WOW". They designed a system that was supposed to hop between channels if possible. The only problem is that they have no idea on how they made it hop, or under what circumstances, or even have a clue on WHY it would hop.
(Not exact quote "We do our testing in the real world, not in the shop"end not exact quote)

Anyone with ANY knowledge about tech or science knows that a result that can not be reproduced within a controlled environment is false, PERIOD.
Statements like "We test in the field" is just wrong on so many levels. In order to design a system that will change channels if needed you NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU IMPLEMENTED THAT INTO THE SYSTEM! And if you know how you implemented it into the system, you KNOW what parameters are required to reproduce it.

From the XPS responses you can only tell that they have no idea on how it would work. If they knew, all they would have to do to make all these threads stop, is simply to tell how it works, and how to reproduce it. All they are saying is that it works in the field, but it's impossible to show it in testings(OMG). It must be based on a randomizer, and it only works when the internal camera clearly shows that you are flying, and not testing the system inside.
XPS Code
$secret_xps_factor = randomize(1 to infinity);
If ($camera_outside == true) and $sunshine == true {
$rand = randomize (1 to 16)
if ($rand == $secret_xps_factor){
jump_channel
}
}

I guess the simple explanation for them not saying HOW is that they are simply lying.
If I would have bought the XPS system(and again, i was sooo close to doing just that) I would have sued them for fraud.

Selling a system that are not doing what it claims is fraud, simple as that.


It's sad though, since I allways like it when new small companys comes up with something new, and taking the fight with the "big ones". I always want them to succeed, since it helps us as customers, both tech-wise and price-wise(competition is good).
It's sad though, when it all ends up in a hoax, and a fraud.(XPS works, no doubt about that, but it's not working AS ADVERTISED).
