No worries, my friend... nothing I posted was directed at you.

I should have known better than to even try to answer questions in regards to Spektrum on a "fuelie" forum... But the guy with the DX3C having issues deserved some attention to help correct his problem, and I figured that was worth the crap these guys would give me... I can take it.

I've learned how from all the Gas-Holes over the years...

Now that they are here on this forum, I guess it'll start again.

Both are only 2-channel, but the MR3000 has two sets of connections.

Dangit... My mind isn't working correctly lately. I shouldn't type when I'm so tired!

CORRECTION: The MR3000 RX is a 3-Channel RX. It DOES have an AUX channel for your Mixture controls. I was correct on the two sets of connections, however. Just forgot (because I never need to use it) about the AUX channel.

Sorry if that caused any confusion....

Now back to your regularly scheduled "Futaba is the only radio for marine use" discussion, already in progress...

So there are more questions. What is/are the differences between the FASST and FHSS systems. Which came out first (FHSS)? I will probably not need S-Buss feature included into the FASST receivers. Is this the main change between the 2 types of rx's? I notice there are more receivers for the FHSS than the FASST type. Thanks Chris

S-Buss or S-Buss2 is not part of Fasst surface receivers we have all been using for years. The only surface receiver with S-Buss 2 that I know of is the new R304SB telemetry receiver but it isn't a Fasst receiver but rather a type T-FHHS.

ever since I've switched to the Spektrum 2.4 GHz hardware (marine labeled DX3S and marine receivers) I've never had a radio problem. AM radios are junk; there's no end of sources of interference out there, and even with FM the receivers still have trim pots which freak out at the merest mention of the word "humidity." with digital the receiver boards are already conformal coated, so just put dielectric compound on the battery/servo pins and don't worry about it.

Futaba has a net T4PX coming out. It will easily take the top spot. See below, color LCD screen and all.
