Which radio to keep....
#1
Which is a better radio as far as the technology goes & quality?
I have both and both are comfortable, just not sure which one to keep.
Ok first I have the older Ko Propo EX-10 Helios with the RF-901s module & KR-408s Rx. It's been a great radio for a long time.
Next up I have the Futaba 4 PLS system with the R304SB Receiver
I know the Futaba is a newer radio with newer technology but is it really any better?
Thanks for your time....

No need for 4 channel, I just run 2wd buggy.
Anyone know if either one uses different technology?
Does one have a bigger advantage on the technology side?
The EX-10 is an oldy but a goody & the PLS in new.....

From a radio channel allocation perspective, and technology ability to avoid interference you're looking at:
AM < FM < PCM < DSM < DSM2 < FHSS < S-FHSS < FAAST
Being that the technology used in both radios you've outlined (assuming the EX10 has the Ko Propo 2.4 module), then both are S-FHSS and technologically similar. If the EX-10 is the FM version then there's no question.
The EX10 though has a slower CPU, but unless you've been able to notice it I wouldn't count that against it. The lag probably isn't perceptible.
Lengthy technical article if you are inclined: http://www.rcmodelreviews.com/spreadspectrum01.shtml

Yes, it's the 2.4 ghz with the KO Propo RF-901s module.
Thanks for the article...
