Just got mine less than a week back and was setting it up and ran into a couple of mysteries:
1. On the website it has it has handle vibration, but there is no mention of it in the manual, or in the menus that I can find.
2. On the website it says it supports usb game controller mode, but again zero mention in the manual on it.
I'm wondering if these 2 features were mistakenly put in the documention or what. maybe future firmware update? I saw there is a new firmware update out of Japan last week but doesn't mention either of those two things unfortunately.
Other than that, I really like it. I'm replacing an old 4pls I've been using for like 7 years, so it was time. I could have bought a 2nd hand 7pxr for less but i didnt want to buy another discontinued model, and wanted something new. I didn't really want a touch screen either, although I dislike the jog stick. My only real want in a radio was more than 4 channels so I don't need high end.
I've never owned a high end futaba so I can't compare quality feel, but the only thing I was disappointed about quality-wise upon initial look over is the plastic lanyard hoop. You can flex it with your fingers. Kinda feel like that part should be metal. makes me a bit nervous.
Traditionally the "pv" line was always cheaper, maybe the "v" means value who knows.
