From what I've read in the DX4S thread, backwards compatibility is very unlikely for the DX6R and may be due to FCC restrictions?

Schedules are known to slip a little. This radio was released pretty early due to the nuremberg show. Don't have details on how accurate any of these dates are but not surprised to see a little adjustment to the dates.

in the industry I work in, I know arrival dates are always tentative due to delays at customs, the boat taking longer to dock, dock strikes etc. But it's been 5 months since the announcement :0 That is a LONG lead time. :0 still excited about this radio, but.....

Did the shipment arrive early, or is that a preproduction unit?

It is a pre-production unit. And the dates are looking OK still. I think the reason you see the difference between u and amain is that we have to ship them to amain and then they can ship them out so that can take a few days of lag there versus getting one direct.

They will probably atleast make a foam insert for the already pretty nice but pricey Spektrum case
