I was looking at the Futaba 4pm, but wasnt sure if that was considered out dated. The only other radio I had back when I ran 10+ years ago outside of Spektrum and JR racing was a Airtronics M11, but this was when I was a "Kid" and always hated how heavy it was. Hence why I ended up with the DX3R
To actually answer your question, the current Spektrum radios still support DSM2. I have a DX5C and DX5 Pro and they both support DSM2 receivers (I use some clone DSM2 receivers, you just have to bind at 16.5ms). DX5 Pro is their top of the line radio.
Futaba 4PM is an excellent radio, Sanwa is excellent as well, but their latest sub-$500 radios are not backwards compatible with older Sanwa receivers.
