Spektrum's latest radio..the DX8
For the last few months, Spektrum have been teasing us with ads indicating "it's coming, what if becomes what is"...so it was with great interest that I read this month's back cover of Fly RC mag (August 2010) and gleaned this info, about the new DX8 system.
8 channels,
30 model memory onboard, with additional memory via SD card
2 model types..Aero and Heli
2.4 ghz DSM Spread Spectrum TELEMETRY System
..more info here,

and here's a thread on RCG, started way back in February...!

I've been thinking about getting one of these when they become available. I believe the official announcement is in two weeks. Hopefully it won't be too long after that before they start shipping.

I believe it is already out in Europe. I saw a price of 340 euros.

Are you going to the other side now on 2.4 ?
I believe there are only 2 of us left then at that point....myself and J.O.
I knew someday I would be unique....

72 is still valid, reliable and cheap. Pick 2.
And with everyone on 2.4 it makes it even better. No conflict!!
