Ooh Baby!!! Here we go!! The 2007 Toledo Show is upon us and this is going to be an exciting show for sure. One of the first Big Announcements covered by Flying Giants in the Leading Edge is brought to us by JR with a couple of new radio offerings. Keep your eyes on the Leading Edge for more pictures of the new JR systems and all throughout the weekend for more MUST HAVE products!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the JR camp would like to say a few words..................

JR 2.4GHz Programmable Systems
JR® is pleased to announce two new pro-class, programmable aircraft systems—the
9-channel X9303 2.4 which is coming this summer, followed by the 12-channel 12X this fall. Both will feature all the software sophistication JR is known for, PLUS the no-pins, no-crystals, no-glitches convenience and security of proven DSM2™ 2.4GHz technology by Spektrum™.

DSM2: 2.4GHz RC Technology with a Flawless Record
Unlike ordinary spread spectrum ICs, the unique chip that’s the basis for Spektrum’s 2.4GHz technology was developed specifically for RC by an avid aircraft modeler who wanted to create a robust, ultra-reliable RF link that would be immune to glitches and interference. This chip combined with Spektrum’s patent-pending DSM/DSM2 protocols, and the built-in redundancy of its DuaLink™ technology, have been the biggest revolution in RC flying since the advent of digital proportional control. It’s proven 2.4GHz technology that JR is proud to adopt––technology that’s been used with unprecedented success by thousands of RC car and airplane modelers since 2005.

Complete Integration Means Faster Response and Added Precision
Because DSM2™ technology has essentially been “built-in” to these new JR systems there is no processing time lag as there would be with a module based system. In fact, you will experience response times that are faster than any PCM system in existence. You will also enjoy two other exclusive DSM2 features you will wonder how you ever lived without—ModelMatch™ and ServoSync™.

ModelMatch puts an end to “wrong model” mishaps by preventing the receiver from responding until you select the memory settings matched to the model you’re going to fly. ServoSync automatically resequences transmitted data bits so that mixed servos receive their pulses in direct sequence. No longer will you have to endure split second differences in CCPM or dual elevator servo movement. All servos will move as if on the same channel so you can fly with absolute precision.

Complete Compatibility with Spektrum Brand DSM Receivers
If you already own a Spektrum brand radio system you will be pleased to know that both of these new systems will work with any DSM receivers you already have, including the AR6000, AR6100, AR7000 and AR9000. So, when the time comes to move up to more channels you’ll be set.


X9303 2.4 9-Channel DSM2 Aircraft System—Available Summer ‘07
As the foundation for an advanced, full-range, spread spectrum radio, it’s hard to imagine a more ideal candidate than JR’s XP9303.

A breakthrough in versatility and flexibility when it was introduced, the 9-channel, 30-model memory, 3-model type 9303 is an enormously popular radio upgrade for flyers whose skills have outgrown sport-class equipment. With software shaped by the input of top airplane, sailplane and heli pilots, plus its exclusive rolling ease and speed of programming, the 9303 remains the standard by which all 9-channel radios are judged.

And now, with the added convenience and security of Spektrum DSM2 2.4GHz technology, the newly-designated X9303 2.4 is destined to be a breakthrough once more.
Spektrum engineers have even incorporated technology that permits owners of conventional XP9303 radios to transfer all of their model programming data from their transmitters directly to their new X9303 2.4 transmitters.

JRP2910 X9303 2.4 Airplane/Sailplane DSM2 System Street Price: $729.99
JRP2920 X9303 2.4 Heli DSM2 System Street Price: $729.99

12X 12-Channel DSM2 Aircraft System—Available Fall ‘07
Big-scale and jet modelers as well as anyone else flying complex applications will love the new JR 12X.

The pro-class 12X will combine airplane and heli programming in a single transmitter. All programming functions will be easily adjusted using JR’s exceptionally intuitive Rolling Selector input system. Plus, its big, high-resolution dot matrix display will allow you to see the adjustments you make with absolute clarity.

The Bottom Line
JR programmable systems have always been known for superior quality, unmatched Horizon Hobby product support and intuitive programming that offers all the features you could ever need. With the X9303 2.4 and 12X, you will get all of this plus the addition of Spektrum 2.4GHz convenience and security making them the most advanced radio control systems ever. Simply put, these are the systems the world’s been waiting for.

Nice

yea yea yea

I was hoping this was going to happen. I didnt like the idea of a dongle hanging off my radio. All in one, Im in!!!!!

Dave,
Do you know if any of the JR boys have been using them yet? I imagine somebody has been playing with them. If they need someone to test these out with option to buy, I'll sign the waiver

I'm sure that they have been in use publicly and nobody was paying attention. I want to get my hands on them too.

More....

ooooo weee!! they look way nicer than the futaba ones imo

Great news. One little wish if anyone is listening. How about a retrofit program for the 9303. Send in your Tx and have it refitted for 2.4. That would be baddass!

I've got one of the 9303 heli versions on order. Called the LHS as soon as they opened and had them place the order. Those guys at Horizon are smart, put out the DX6, get my money, then DX7 and get more, now this, and they're going to get another $730. I've dropped a lot of cash on Spektrum gear!

Yes! The wait is almost over for us JR guys. Now if we could only go to unregulated Ions.

Ken

I don't like them
They're to shinny.

Very nice indeed - looks to be a good year for 2.4GHz.....and for us!

Thats something that I noticed that this is a JR radio (using Spektrum technology) but still a JR radio by brand.

So are you trying to make me feel better by seperating this out into a different category? That works for me, I only spent $550 or so on Spektrum gear. The $730 is an entirely new category. I wonder if my wife will buy that? I spent years with the same radio will now have changed 3 times in under a year.
