I think any system using true FHSS (like HoTT) is asking for a problem when flown around other 2.4GHz devices. FHSS devices do not have the noise immunity that DSSS based systems have, and the best systems (like ours) use DSSS with channel hopping to provde the best of both worlds. Ultimately the choice is yours. Keep in mind that we do sell directly to Europe, so pricing for iFS receivers and modules are less than 1/2 of Graupner's retail.

Hi Jim.

But Graupner ist still the official XPS-Importer for Europe. Isnīt it that way?

Roland

Graupner has iFS that is imported. Graupner has never been the official "XPS" importer, we only OEM'd our XtremeLink system to them as iFS. They have never sold any of our other products. We had an agreement to allow Graupner to have the European distribution of iFS, but that agreement was breeched when they started selling other 2.4GHz systems. We sell our XtremeLink systems world-wide.

Really? I was not aware of that..........
When attempting to order from your web-shop earlier is been impossible if you are a resident of an european country. This news will make life a lot happier for a lot of people!

This changed at the end of last year.

What you need Jim is a few trusted people in these market areas to hold XPS stock on a consignment basis. They can then ship directly to customers in their area and get your shipping costs down a bit. It seems the "exclusive distributorships" have been used to lock XPS up whilst the big players sorted them selves out. What I would see is you ship a box with say 50 of each of your receivers and a few TX modules (radios to come) so the per unit shipping ex US is reasonable. These people would then on ship locally (overnight) based on an email from XPS with customer details. If there is a buck in it so much the better but that's not critical. XPS still handles all the ordering/payments etc. Sort of a remote warehouse.

I see in another thread someone in the UK selling their XPS gear and going to another system because of lack of local support, and this thread shows a need for mainland Europe. Three people and yourselves could cover, US, UK, Australia and mainland Europe. Worth a thought.
