Question on Lemon Rx options

[mrwis@yahoo.com]

Guys,

I've been buying the Spektrum 4 and 6 channel rx's thus far. I've got 3 more planes in process or on the build list (really want to do the sea otter) so I'm looking at other rx's. I'm looking at Lemon. I pretty much fly in parks with no one else around. No big events.

I have a DX6i. I'm flying line of sight at this point.

Many options on their site. Looking for recommendations.
- This one is DSMX without diversity - http://www.lemon-rx.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=72&product_id=122
- This one is DSMX with diversity (do I need diversity?) - http://www.lemon-rx.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=72&product_id=132
- These guys are DSM2, the old protocol, but at most I think I'd be flying these with three or so buddies - http://www.lemon-rx.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=90

I looked at Orange but was concerned that some were not full range so I think I'll try Lemon.

Any assistance is appreciated.

My sons and I use both the dsm2 and the non-diversity dsmx recievers from lemon and have had zero problems so far. The little dsm2 6 channels are great for park flyers. I have a 6 channel dsmx with stabilization and it worked really well in my FPV explorer until I put a naze32 in it and didn't need the stabilization any more. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I have 2 Lemon DSMX rx's that I use with my DX6 and no complaints.

The little dsm2 6 channels are great for park flyers.

+1 I bought my second pack of 5 of these and throw them in anything cheap and foamy. Never had a problem with them in a park field sized area with up to 3-4 other flyers in the air at the same time.

At these prices, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't choose the DSMX with diversity. I've used one without issue for a while now. The DSM2 5 pack is an amazing deal but personally, losing signal terrifies me and I'd rather be sure.

Orange receivers are pretty decent too, there are plenty of full range ones (as far as I know, all the ones that aren't "micro" are full range). I've also had a micro on one of my FT minis for a while with no range issues despite taking it out pretty far.
