Default Radio choice ???

I am looking for a new Radio system and was leaning towards the 4Pk. I saw that there is another choice, Radio Post???

Can anyone comment on how these two system would compare?

thanks

Ergonomics of the radiopost is waaaay better than the 4PL, receivers are much smaller and not to mention the LCD screen on the RadioPost. Your comparing apples to oranges by comparing it to the 4PL, I've ran almost every high end radio to include the 4pk and the KOPropo Eurus and I choose Radiopost.

Id go M11x all day. Airtronics is super reliable and they have the highest response rate. Not that its the newest thing or anything but I just picked up a M11 with a Fm module for $50 on here. Tons of features and its faster than all of them

He's not asking about the 4pl....... He's asking to compare the 4pk and the radiopost

The M11x is an excellent radio, no doubt... but in my opinion the 4PKS is the best surface radio out now.

4pk or 4pks are awesome and really easy to use. the M11 is a little bit more confusing and it feels good, but Futaba feels really comfortable and you can move the trigger closer or farther from your hand depending on hand size.

I never thought I'd replace my 3PKS for a while, it's a great radio. In searching for a radio for my son I was about to buy a 4PL for him, however Futaba was running the buy a 4PKS and get a free RX. I couldn't pass it up so I picked one up and gave him my 3PKS. Best RC purchase in a long time. Great feel and button/dial layout. Glitch free and unbelievable range. I run 1/5 on and off road, 1/8 nitro on and off road, and 1/10 electric on and off road and a gas boat, there isn't a model that this radio can not control. Every feature you could ever want and some you'll probably never need, this radio does it all. Futaba quality...
