Paul Law Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi all, Just venturing back into RC, so new to Planes, flew Heli's a while back. Bought an Irvine Tutor 2, so ready to get going again In my previous guise i had a JR PCM 9X2 which was a great Tranny but i guess things have moved on, my question is, is there any point in 35Mhz or should i go 2.4, also is there anything out there that will convert my 9X to 2.4 ? Many thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Nothing wrong with 35MHz, just check for corrosion in the battery wires if it's not been used regularly. If it has a plug in module you could convert to 2.4 using 3rd party modules and receivers, one brand I would recommend being FrSky. Not let me down in around 4 years of using them. That way you get the benefit of a tx you are familiar with + the bonus of not having to worry about frequency control and waiting for your channel to be free.

Paul Law Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Bob, Yes i have a synthesised module at present, i'll look into the FrSky i have noted comments in older posts, cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 same Tx as myself Paul if you don't have loads of 35mhz receivers, convert to 2.4 gives you a much wider choice for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Law Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Do you mean along the same lines as bob has mentioned John ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 yes Paul sorry If you are happy with the 9x2 buy a module for it I love the feel of mine and find it easy to use, also it has been faultless since I bought it.

Ernie Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Paul, I'm sure that 35 still works as well as it ever did. And, you can pick up bits and pieces for very little ( I still have two TX, and countless RX lying redundant) But, I'd go for 2.4 if you intend to really do this. It is so much more convenient. No crystals. No peg board. Just about bomb proof. and also it seems tp be in almost universal use. ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
