A lot of radios are getting more and more complicated. Adding telemetry to any radio easily doubles the complication factor for me. I suppose eventually all radios will go the telemetry route.

I've gone through the M11x, DX3R, M12 and now the 4PKS-R. All of them were/are decent radios and all of them had good points and weak points. I can't say that I prefer any of them over any of the others. I can say that all 3 brands I've run have lousy support, in my opinion. (Maybe I am spoiled by Tekin's support model?) To me that makes it that much more critical to find a platform that is proven.

YMMV
