With the deals on JR radios I would look at one of those before the DX.
Thanks,

The cost to switch to a A9 or a Futaba and replace all my Receivers keeps me limited. I have been looking at the JR 11X or a used 12X. Had thought about going back to the 9303/9503 but if I am going to get a new radio I want one with the servo balance option.

But then you have seen how I fly, latency is not big deal Hay wait.....that is what happened at the spookfest, the slow latency of my DX8 is why the Wildcat hit the ground

YES,YES. the slow Latency is why I hit the ground


I am thinking a lot about replacing the DX8, It has a lot I like, but it has 3 things that I do not like, and they are big items to me. 1. Snap roll switch, thought I could due without it but I sure miss it. 2. Only 8 ch need 9-10 to make me happy. 3. The big one , just do not like the feel!!! I have to hunt for the duel rate switches. They are not where they have been for the last 21 yrs!!! My wife keeps saying a 1/4" should not make a difference to me, but I cannot reach the switches

Now that Charlie has his 9303 it just is making things worse

Yes, but it helps when you have a Latency problem, finger latency
