End of proprietary 2.4G era

That is monumental 

Wonder why/if the Spektrum guys would sue, for IP infringement 

Hey Rajesh! thanks for breaking the ICE... this was THE news of the day for..I  just didn't want to start another LHS vs HC thread...nevertheless

This is infact a great news!! these Rx are even cheaper that $23-$20 Assan X8 Rx !!! Now I repent for not be able to buy Spektrum DX7, which was my first choice!! The cheapest Futaba FAAST Rx is at $49, indoor 6Ch

I won't mind if Chinese brethren rip FAAST and come up with cheaper Rx! for Foamies, many would be fine with such cheapo Rx!!

Crossing my fingers for a FAAS dupe Rx....

Anwar, has Align sued HK for dirt cheap rip off of their bread and butter 450 and 500 series Helis ? It can only happens in China!!

I would have been more happy if it were actually Spektrum OEM receiver - this could have actually fuel price war in OEM 2.4G Rx!! I guess all, I mean all would have benefited right from Futaba, JR, Sanwa owners...

Stock :  -852 

Confirmed! They are indeed  clones so is FAAST not far...
in the words of Anthony Hand, supposed owner of HC himself:

Don! how are customs in UK on import of radio ? there are lots of used Tx on E-bay and RCgroup/Wattflyer ! changing the RF board or moving to Assan would be again a costly affair anyway (due to discarding Futaba Rx in the later stage) ...

Compare apple to apple.
The above Tx prices by RCDhamaka was incredible and even beating many European sellers.

OrangeRx is kind of Reverse Engineering Futaba/Spektrum OEM RX (FASST/DSM) and making such 'Compatible' Recievers at rock bottom price ($14 for Spektrum, $29 for Futaba). They might not be as  reliable as the OEM receivers.

One wont risk his 30,000 worth Gasser/Nitro planes. But for foamies, people like me would definitely stick to them.

in a nut shell, the OrangeRx are not direct replacement to OEM receiver all the time.

I think the below post has no relevance on this topic.

Admin request you to kindly spilt this topic. And there is a discussion going on the referred rx on this forum.

Yes, it is split out.  This RX has no compatibility with the Sanwa/Airtronics stuff discussed in the other thread (http://www.rcindia.org/deals-and-special-offers/march-hot-summer-offers/).

And merged into the right thread about OrangeRX DSM2 receivers.

these RX are pretty good!!!

AR6100 had some problem so it was discontinued and upgraded AR6110 was introduced.

i think these AR6100 which are manufactured are now out in the market with such a low price with diff names!!!

i my self have 2 of these RX and its very good for my foamies, works flawlessly, with good range!!! these are parkflyer RX so not suitable for big planes!!!!

Grab it if u guys can!!!!!

HK loaded the OrangeRX again. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11965

Now these are $10 each if you buy 10 together ! 

I need 5 Rx, if any one interested in sharing 5, then please let me know, as early as possible.

Dileep

  i need 5

Be aware that buying so many items in a single pack could call the customs... as they scan every item.. they might get a hint that these are not gifts

Thanks for sharing Santhosh. I have done the purchase, and I will keep you informed.

No IP infringement case is possibe, this is a receiver like any other radio receiver. Again they are smart inough to make this statement:

""This is not a Spektrum receiver, nor is it a copy of a Spektrum Receiver. The Spektrum brand is a trademark of Horizon Hobbies USA."

It could be, the IP does not work that way. That disclaimer only talks about the trademark.
If they are using the same technology (DSM2), emulating/simulating in any ways, then they are breaking the laws of patents.

What I have learn from Spektrum website is that their patent is still pending, so they could use the given benefit of doubt what will be the outcome of the patent request.

If the protocol itself is patented by Spektrum, then possibly yes. Otherwise, anyone can build a receiver that can decode the signals.  Something like how "Windows" and its open implementation "Wine" works.

+1 Anwar. 

Hey did anyone noticed!!!!
ORange Spektrum DSM2 Compatible 6Ch 2.4Ghz Receiver with HK (mentioned above) is available for just $7.95!!!!! it is in backorder, but stilll....... am i dreaming!!!!!!

Darn... they reduced the price after I bought :-( anyways.. I got it that's good .
