Here you go.....

Version 1.05
Changes since 2015-October-22
Special Notes
• In the Telemetry menu, some sensors may not be reported properly on the
display or audibly after updating. If this occurs for you, please remove the sensor
from the Telemetry list, then re-add it using the Auto-Config function on the Setup
sub-menu.

Thanks I didn't see that - this may be it!

If they renamed those to

"Don't Read This Under Any Circumstances!!!.txt"

A lot more people might actually read the release notes

LOL i agree!

After reading that note, I get the impression it refers to loading the update with existing models and telemetry already in the radio (as many folks would be). However, I loaded it in a brand new DX18 G2 that I had never used before; maybe that's why I didn't pay much attention. Might still be the answer, though.

so im planning on buying a dx18 gen 1, is there any reason i should not? are planes falling out of the sky because of the radio? its a tossup between this and the futaba 14sg for me

Gen 1 is a perfectly fine radio. It doesn't have the voice or wireless trainer.

I've been flying the DX18 Gen 1 since it released and it has been perfect for me. Not one problem, awesome radio.

is it new or used? if used just send it to horizon for a check-up. cheap insurance. if new its a great radio.

+1 I bought mine a while back right when they were releasing the gen 2 and blowing out the Gen 1. I love it and when I read posts that it's obsolete I have to smile.

So other than the voice alerts and wireless trainer, are their any other notable differences that would justify the extra cash for the Gen 2 over the Gen 1?

I believe there may be a few very minor software differences but the big ones are voice alerts and wireless trainer. If you don't feel the need for those features, then the Gen1 at $499 is a great value.

Origin Mixing
.5% mixing
Canards
Voice Alerts
Wireless Trainer


Those are the differences. Other than that, identical radios. Either one is a great choice.

Origin mixing and the .5% mix value were the ones I was thinking of but I also seem to recall they came out with a new "special" firmware for the G1. Thought perhaps the "special" firmware may have had those things added to the G1 but not sure.

Thanks guys, yeah I compared them side by side on the HH web site but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I use an 11X and 9503 right now and am considering selling both to finance a DX18. Thanks again for the help. JC
