Radio Arrival

Well, after yesterdays Genoa Sail no show, my radio gear has arrived.
Seemed to be good value to me, and the highest specification for the price.

I have gone for the Futaba 6 EX PCM 40 meg FM set...

Ready fitted with a ratchet on the left stick , which is ideal for sheet control.. it has 6 channels.. my theory was.......
1) main sheet
2) rudder
3)Aux motor
4) Genoa winch ( if I do decide to have one)
5) Genoa motor ditto
6) Lights

I am also happy it is the first " multi model memory" set I have owned.. in theory one can set different models up ( only another rx and xstal required) store all the settings, including trims and servo reversing, and with just a few buttons.

Personally I also like to see the remaining battery voltage...... this is a digital readout, with an alarm when level falls too low.

Leds for power information just don't do it for me :)
