JR 12X 2.4Ghz Radio Review

2.4GHz transmitters have definitely changed our hobby in a good way.

Starting with the Spektrum DX6, we found out what it was like to fly with freedom, no longer having to worry about frequency conflicts. Then the Spektrum DX7 came along and added Model Match so we no longer had to be concerned with the transmitter being set to the wrong model memory. The JR 9303 built on all this and added programming features for helicopters and sailplanes right out of the box. Now we have the 12X, which has become the flagship of the JR line, and wait till you hear what it can do!

The extreme low latency of the 12X—a result of JR/Spektrum cooperation and ingenuity—delivers an astonishing sense of connection with your model. It’s a feature that prompted perennial World Championship competitor Quique Somenzini to declare the prototype “unbelievable, amazing!” after only one flight. Also, thanks to another 12X breakthrough, all 12 channels respond to commands with identical speed and perfect synchronization for unprecedented control precision. To top it off, the instantaneous response of the 12X is complemented by the accuracy of JR’s refined 2048 resolution. (2048 resolution only available using 9 channel and higher receivers)

Here’s how ModelMatch works: If you’re operating on 2.4GHz and your transmitter doesn’t “recognize” your model as the selected model when your airborne system is turned on, there’ll be absolutely no control response. You’ll be alerted that something’s wrong and a costly crash may be averted.* Also, the 12X’s included PC Data Transfer System permits you to upload an unlimited number of model setups from your transmitter to your computer, then access and download any 50 of them to your 12X transmitter’s model memory for use at the field.

Announcement

We are please to announce that Depron RC has been made alive online after almost 1 year were put on hold. With the new image, we strive our best to make our pressence among others RC Website.
