Nope haven't seen that and even when I do it won't matter as I won't use them. I know there are ppl that have had good luck and some that haven't. My helis and airplanes are worth enough to me that I don't skimp on the reciever. Just my opinion

I remember paying $200 for Futaba 9 channel 129 RX's. The 2048 receivers were over $300 !

If you consider inflation since then, a JR DMSS RX for $90 is dirt cheap. All of the original receivers with separate telemetry module are now discontinued. JR Americas should sell them at a discount if there are any left.

Yeah the JR DMSS Rx prices are reasonable and well worth it. I don't have any "throw away" models that I fly with my XG14E so there's no point in buying cheaper Orange clones to mount them in. Also safety/reliability/compatibility is at the top of my list when installing in airframes that cost over $1500 each and could lop off a person's head if something were to go wrong. The only model that I may use a Orange Rx in is a small cheap quad.

it looks for EPP models and....
maybe more too

He should've compared the Orange to the 812 which has telemetry integrated internally and also costs less than the 831.

I got the Orange to put in floats for rudder. Figured no telemetry was a plus. They would bind to an XG8 but not the 28X. DMSS must be more complex than Corona/HobbyKing thought.
