- I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and have been flying at least
- 3 to 5 days a week for the past 2 years using Futaba Attack and
- Cannon super-micro receivers. Both receivers are AM single conversion.
- I also fly with another guy who also uses the same two receivers. He
- uses the Cannon gear in world competition. I have NEVER seen radio
- interference except when flying directly over another transmitter
- at low altitude (~50 ft - coming in for a landing). Even then, the glitch
- is minor. I even fly with transmitters on both adjacent channels -
- No Problem! I rate the Futaba Attack receiver EXCELLENT (the Cannon Rx
- is the only one that I have experienced any interference with).

- So...a different opinion.
