    Looks good. It doesn't say a whole lot about the specs, though. All it says is "dual rate". Is that a separate dual rate for each channel, or one dual rate for one channel?

    It does not have end point adjust which could be a big problem for a boater

    Good find - interesting.
    Looks like a repackaged http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1055
    although it indicates full range. As indicated, no EPA (though you can add a trim-pot to kind of give the effect of one). With EPA's it would b a truly great deal.

    Cheers,
