BaldEagel: Repeatable means that other people can repeat the same error around the country. I.E. a system fault.

I have around 2000 flights with XPS and have not experienced that problem. I believe you when you say you had the problem but it may have been just that environment. The XPS's reception seems to be a little more sensitive than the other systems. Since no one will fly out to 5 miles, I wonder if they should detune it some?

Of the people that have had problems I just can't see a repeatable link. It seems more random vice the Spectrum and FASST problems. Although, some FASST owners have the heat problem and some don't. Doesn't seem to be a single RX problem. At least XPS will talk with you. Futaba knows about the problem. They have one memo and basically are going to make everyone wait until this fall for some sort of answer.
