Spektrum is owned by Horizon Hobbies which is located in Illinois, USA. JR is also owned by Horizon Hobbies and located at the same location. IMO, JR is a higher end Tx than Spektrum. I would almost kill for an 11x, those things are awesome. I think I got that number right lmao. I'm tired. Hope this helps.

Thanks Tony. I used to have a JR in the past. Very nice radio. When I bought my stuff a couple of weeks ago I was considering the new JR 8 channel as well. I did not like the look of the new JR 8 channel. Looks like an alien to me. In the end Spektrum won on looks, even though it was slightly more expensive.
I must say, I am not sorry about my purchase at all. Awesome radio!

Personally, I don't know anything about JR equipment and I have little experience with Spektrum equipement but I have the DX6i and it's been a great radio for me. Just a few months ago, I upgraded to the DX8 and I love this radio. It looks good, feels good in the hands, I love the extra features. The DX6i has been passed on to my wife and now she is learning to fly.

I would love to sell my DX8 and get a JR. Something new to test. What sucks is the new JR's have a new band they use that is not DSMX and is not backwards compatible. So I would have to get 9 new Rx's for all of my aircraft. At a bill each, that would add up REALLY fast. So for the moment, I will just stick with my DX8 lol.

Tony I was told you can send it to HH in the good old US of A and get the JR module swaped out for the dsmx module, can't guess how much that would cost though, be cheaper to get the dx18 probably
